Cycling Tours 2022

Using our extensive experience riding in our own back yard of Vancouver Island, we’ve created what we think is the very best riding the South Island has to offer, and better yet, you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy all of it!  Showcasing the unmatched beauty of coastal Vancouver Island, your custom gravel itinerary combines curated routes, boutique west coast accommodations, and great meals to create the perfect cycling ‘staycation’.

Join us this June for what will likely be the most important ride of your life. After a 2-year hiatus due to Covid, we’re incredibly excited to return to Europe for BBR22, with stops at such historical sites as Vimy Ridge, Beaumont Hamel, Amiens, Arras, and Mons to name a few. Magic Places is again honoured to present the Battlefield Bike Ride, an annual charity ride in support of Wounded Warriors Canada. This year come be part of the ‘100 Days to Victory’ ride, as we trace the steps of Canadian troops through Normandy and Belgium in the final days of WWI.

A 7-day stage race through some of the most storied passes and valleys in cycling’s history. Starting in the foothills of the Bravarian Alps and finishing on the shores of Lake Garda, Italy, the Tour Transalp is the longest running and most renowned amateur cycling race in Europe. Our race package gives you the support you need to race like a pro.

Combining the most inspiring off-road segments of the legendary BC Epic 1000 and Tour Divide Mountain Routes, our week-long gravel adventure will see you riding through the heart of the BC’s wildest mountains, while staying each night in luxurious comfort.

Boasting over 180 wineries, a semi-arid desert climate, and hundreds of kms of immaculate, winding country roads, the South Okanagan offers a cycle vacation experience that rivals France and Italy… and the best part is that it’s in our own backyard!
