The Cross Canada Cycle Tour Society (CCCTS) is a non-profit cycling club founded in 1982, based in British Columbia with a chapter in Ottawa. In its own words, it is a club for active adults of all ages; members are mainly retired people who love recreational cycling. Volunteers organize weekly day rides plus multi-day and cross-Canada tours, some of which have run continuously since the 1980s.
The Cross Canada Cycle Tour Society's BC routes range from short day rides of about 84 km to a 1,511 km cross-provincial tour toward Calgary. Most of its routes here are on Vancouver Island, with others in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley and one crossing northern British Columbia, the Cariboo-Chilcotin Coast, and the Thompson-Okanagan. Most routes are on paved roads with rolling-to-climbing terrain, and the set includes several multi-day touring routes and one route linked by four ferry crossings.
