Bow Valley transplant John Bowden wasted no time getting a new business started in Nelson, B.C. Kootenay Cycling Adventures offers supported, multi-day cycling tours, including bike rentals if you need them. The touring groups max out at eight people, and Bowden carries luggage and other gear in his support vehicle, freeing cyclists to simply enjoy the ride. Supported tours range in length from three to six days, and self-guided tours can be arranged as well. Tours include food, accommodation, gorgeous Kootenay vistas and varying degrees of challenge. And if you need a break, the support vehicle is available.
