Steve Mitchell normally drives all over B.C. to see Bike dealers. He's a sales rep and his territory is our entire fine province. This year he's doing his summerr sales trip under his own power.
Here's his first trip diary.

Mitchell's a machine…
We passed him on our way to Psychosis thursday afternoon. For someone who's done some serious epic missions, this one has to be right up there.
Look forward to buying him a beer at crankworx.. maybe this was his secret plan, drink all week for free as word spreads of his trek..?
first time ever salt spring island its boring..
Salt Spring is boring on a bike? I guess I chose a different route than you did.
very cool adventure
i'm one jealous downhiller
and saltspring boring???????????????????? huh
I'm jealous, very very jealous.
I am a vegetarian not because I love animals but because I HATE plants.
It could be worse…you could be on fire.
What prescription is he on? Amazing and impressive- enduring. Does he get wireless on that thing? How do you take orders?- he must have the new iPhone to handle his sales.
Mitchell must have wee little tiny samples stowed away in those bags of his with a couple of Barbies to model them.
Very cool. I can't wait to do some touring again one of these days. Canada would be an amazing place to ride across.
Props to him, that is one of the coolest things I've heard of in weeks.

Right on. Touring [HTML_REMOVED] DH :yinyang:
Mitchell beats me again. ha ha. I am only doing the one day cruises…
:canada:

we all know that Mitchell is a mountain bike porn star.
His porn star name is Lux Linkage.
Call him that and i guarantee that you'll get a reaction!
hahahaha
Sorry i missed you on the weekend while you were in Penticton, man. I was up SilverStar shredding the shiz.
BTW….he's probably faster on the hills on that surly than in his little mitsubishi!!
hahahaha!!
i have a lot of respect for wackos that go touring. for me, self-supported touring is about as appealing as riding a recumbent in the annual seattle to portland event. that is, not at all.
i am especially proud that "one of us" - a fat tire junkie - is doing it.
RIde. Eat. Repeat.
The Duffy Lake would be a burly ride! Nice work Lux!
nice tour!
A friend of ours did a similar one a few years ago. He had a bob trailer to carry his stuff.
The Duffy, either way - up or down, is a tough one! Great views though!
We wanted to try to ride from Vancouver to Lillooet in a day or two at the most but it never happened… thank god.
Looking to ride the shore but don't know where to go?
