To be fair bikepacking.com has a reliable stream of bicycle 'adventure" content. I do post summaries of some rides I do on NSMB and I have been told off for posting too much riding stuff and in other cases riding content just gets ignored. Which reduces my enthusiasm for posting it on this site. People want to be arguing about STA, CS and e-bikes not riding! I wish I was joking, but look at the forums and see how much riding content there is vs. tech discussion or even NBR.
I have posted a fair bit of riding content on my personal blog over the years and on other sites that are more receptive to ride content.
The other side of this is I am keen on the trail running content not because there is a story about a gal running up and over Everest backwards in winter while juggling knives. [I don't care a lot about the extreme adventure stuff.] It's because everybody is out there running human power and loving it. So I am not curating "adventure" content from them to get my human power fix. It's just what that community is about. In the MTB world it seems like that is a minority opinion and it's nice to be somewhere that I don't have to look for likeminded weirdos and I can feel like I fit in. I can and do ignore a lot of what's going on in the MTB media world these days. The % I have to ignore seems to have grown a lot and it's nice to be places online where I don't have to.
In terms of Van Isle/Sunshine Coast riding stories. I am happy to do some riding if you are keen and to document it. One issue I have, usually, is I am solo on more adventurous rides so the bike leaning against a tree photos get repetitive and the story telling less dynamic solo. If we can actually get some action shots to illustrate a report that would definitely make it more interesting. I've got a ton of one day ride ideas we can do and if you were to be interested in a some bike camping trips I have a bunch of ideas there that we can do from our doors or with minimal driving.
