The Quintuple North Shore Triple Crown

Written By Matthew Fairbrother

After wondering for two years whether it was possible, I returned to Vancouver's North Shore to attempt something I'd never seen done before: completing the iconic North Shore Triple Crown four times back-to-back.

The route links three of the region's most legendary climbs and descents into one of North America's most iconic mountain bike challenges. What began as an attempt at four laps turned into five, simply so I wouldn't spend the next few years wondering if it was possible.

Project stats:

  • 453 km

  • 15,005 m elevation gain

  • 27 h 43 min moving time

  • 29 h 42 min elapsed
