The approachable version of the island's epic: a 384 km loop from Campbell River following much of the full Tree to Sea route while skipping the Tahsis-to-Zeballos boat charter and taking a more direct line to Gold River. Still a serious ride, mostly gravel with over 6,000 m of climbing and long remote stretches, but a fine introduction for riders short on time or working up to the full thousand.
