BT 700 Bikepacking is a route-publishing site run by Ontario adventure cyclist and writer Matthew Kadey, one of Canada's most prolific bikepacking route builders. It grew out of the original BT700 gravel loop in southwestern Ontario and now offers downloadable route files for gravel and bikepacking rides across Canada, including several in British Columbia.
BT 700 Bikepacking's British Columbia routes are side trips, bypasses, and connectors along The Big Griz, its 2,380 km Victoria-to-Banff flagship — from 37 km connectors up to a 304 km multi-day route into Castlegar. Six are concentrated in the Kootenay-Rockies region (Fernie, Nakusp, New Denver, and the Central and East Kootenay), two are on Vancouver Island (Bamfield, Port Renfrew), and one extends into the Thompson-Okanagan. Most are unpaved or mixed-surface gravel routes with significant climbing, rated moderate to hard.
