Peter Gostelow

Long-distance and long term cycle traveller.
Cycled 180,000km+ in 100+ countries
Komoot user since 2016.
Komoot plays a central role in how I plan and ride, allowing me to create reliable (90% of the time) and well-balanced routes that consider terrain and rideability.


I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of creating my own routes rather than following those already published. Most of my recent multi-day rides appear as collections here. Feel free to contact me for more information.

Day 106: Arlington Lake - Penticton

The last day of this ride in Canada. And another beautiful one as I continue climbing a little to the Myra Valley - a popular section of the rail trail with people on rented bikes. Beautiful weather again. And then a steep descent down towards Okanagan lake, where I loose…

Day 105: Midway - Arlington Lakes

Another beautiful day on the Kettle Valley Trail. A great way to be finishing these last few days on the bike. Sub burns through later in day as I gradually climb. Trail is empty. Perfect weather. Ride through a rec site by some lakes later in the day but sound…

Day 104: Grand Forks - Midway kettle river camp

Up early and pack up. Move shirt distance to make coffee and oats at a table in the park. Rec centre doesn't open till 10am. Stop at dollarama and then Tim Hortons for a second coffee before riding over to Rec centre. Friendly welcome and I pay the $7.50 drop…

Day 103: Columbia River - Grand Forks

Fortunately find water a shirt distance up the track. That and a much better place to camp beside the trail at one of the old stations. Oh well. It's a gradual climb with some lovely views down to the river. Trail passes through a number of tunnels - some quite…

Day 102: Balfour - Columbia River Camp

Ride into Balfour where there's a cafe for morning coffee. Now that it's October I have no mobile data and can only connect to Internet through wifi. Open messages to find Cristina dumped me.... Can't handle the long distance relationship in short. Pretty gutted, but maybe for the best. Occupies…

Day 101: St Marys River - Balfour

Cold morning but clear skies fortunately. Discover a mouse last night chewed through my silicon collapsible bowl. No food in it but I left outside the tent. Well I found it in Alaska so no great loss.
It's a steady climb up to the top of the 2100m pass. Nothing…

Day 100: Cranbrook - St Marys River

Pedal off with some frozen elk steak thanks to my hosts as well as more pulled pork (leftovers from last night). A poignant stay as I had no idea of the backdrop and connection to Iohan.
Cranbrook has a Walmart and Dollarama, although I don't need to be buying much…

Day 99: Kootenay River Camp - Cranbrook

Another sunny and beautiful day in what is now the East Kootenays. I message Melanie who plans to ride out and meet me halfway. We ride together back to Cranbrook on some wonderful single track - smooth, undulating and scenic. Not sure how long she has followed me on Instagram…

Day 98: Elk River camp - Kootenay River camp

Bags and tent frozen in morning. Bike computer shows -4°C which feels about right. Fortunately was warm enough. Light the fire again and wait for the sun to come up. Originally thought I would ride to Cranbrook today where I have a place to stay, but I message Melanie, an…

Cold morning. Rain to start then just cloudy and not much above freezing. I'm in tights woolly hat and several layers for much of the day. Make it to Sparwood later than I thought, which has a McDonald's - always a welcome sign here. Tempted to camp in the town…

Day 96: Buller Lake - Blue Lake

Another beautiful and scenic day.. A few more kilometres on the dusty track but I'm then on a paved section for a short distance and after that the trail. Takes me from Alberta back into British Columbia. No other cyclists on what is a beautiful trail. Meet one hiker walking…

Big distance day as I promised warmshower hosts in Canmore that I would be there in the evening. Start relatively early and don't bother relighting the fire. More stunning scenery and fine weather. Push on to Lake Louise and then follow an old highway which is much quieter towards Banff.…
