A lifelong rider and proud Cowichan Valley local. I've spent years exploring every road Vancouver Island has to offer — from the iconic Malahat to the forgotten backroads most riders never find. This channel is my way of sharing the roads, the culture, and the freedom that defines life on two wheels in British Columbia.

We take on the legendary Malahat Highway in full — from the Goldstream Provincial Park entrance all the way to the summit overlook. Multiple camera angles, drone footage, and everything you need to know before you ride it yourself.
From the iconic Malahat to the hidden backroads of the Cowichan Valley — here are the routes every BC rider needs to experience.
The crown jewel of Vancouver Island riding. The Malahat winds through old-growth forest with sweeping ocean views, dramatic elevation changes, and corners that demand your full attention. A rite of passage for every BC rider.
BC's best kept secret. This loop around Lake Cowichan takes you through dense forest, along crystal-clear lakeside roads, and through the charming town of Lake Cowichan. Perfect for all skill levels.
The ultimate Vancouver Island adventure. This full-day loop takes you along the wild west coast to Port Renfrew, through ancient rainforest, and back via the Cowichan Valley. Not for the faint of heart — but unforgettable.
A uniquely Cowichan Valley experience — rolling farmland, estate wineries, and some of the most scenic backroads on the island. Best enjoyed at a leisurely pace with plenty of stops along the way.
A short but rewarding ride from Duncan to the famous mural town of Chemainus. The coastal route via Crofton adds stunning ocean views. End with a walk through Chemainus to see the world-famous outdoor murals.
The ultimate BC adventure — BC Ferry from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, then the legendary Sea to Sky Highway all the way to Whistler. Two of BC's most iconic experiences combined into one epic day.

What Riders Are Saying
Real comments from real riders across BC and beyond. This is what The Road King community is all about.
Finally a BC riding channel that actually knows these roads. The Malahat video was spot on — I've ridden it 100 times and you still showed me angles I'd never seen. Subscribed instantly.
The Lake Cowichan Loop guide was exactly what I needed for my first solo ride. Every fuel stop, every turn — it was all there. This channel is a goldmine for Vancouver Island riders.
As a fellow Cowichan Valley rider, it's incredible to see our backyard getting the recognition it deserves. The Road King is putting this valley on the map for riders everywhere.
Flew over from the mainland specifically because of the Pacific Marine Circle Route video. Every single thing he said about that road was true. Best riding day of my life. Thank you Road King!
The Cowichan Wine Route video brought so many riders to our winery! We've had guests mention The Road King almost every weekend since it went up. Amazing content and a wonderful ambassador for our valley.
We're from Alberta and used The Road King's videos to plan our entire Vancouver Island motorcycle trip. Seven days, six routes, zero regrets. This channel is the ultimate guide to riding BC. Can't wait to go back.
