New Sponsor

It has been an incredible week for QuadEPIC. Myself, Paul and Dan have all arrived in Grimsby and have taken the bike out for a proper ride at 20km. The trip feels so real right now. We just can’t wait to be on the road for good. This Tuesday we have a media event in York with one of our sponsors, ViewRanger, so we’re all nervously preparing ourselves for the cameras.

In other exciting news, we would like to announce a major supporter of our expedition. I had the privilege, back in the day, of attending a unique boarding school which placed priority on outdoor adventure as a component of youth education. This school no doubt fueled my desire for adventure travel and made me want to seek out something as crazy as QuadEPIC. The school, St. John’s School of Alberta, has since established a trust fund to support endeavours which reflect the values of the school itself.



One of the mandates of this trust fund is to support groups and individuals involved in outdoor expeditions that promote adventure and protection of our environment. This objective mirrors our purpose and we are so fortunate that they have pledged their support to our cause.

More information about St. John’s Schol of Alberta and the St. John’s School of Alberta trust fund can be found at their website: www.sjsa.ab.ca

Bye for now.
