About The Project
Slow Coast was born out of a weekend bikepacking event in the qathet Regional District. Our purpose is to mix non-competitive bikepacking events with opportunities for education, community building, and creative play.
We hope that each attendee leaves our events with a better understanding of land, place, and our role as cyclists.
Slow Coast takes place on the traditional territory of the Tla’amin Nation, within the qathet Regional District. The name qathet means ‘working together’ in ʔayʔaǰuθəm.
About Us
Emily Heron and Miles Arbour are qathet based and are inspired by community, connection, and the outdoors. The duo moved from Ontario nearly a decade ago, and haven’t looked back.
Slow Coast was created from their love for riding bikes, and not being too serious about it.
