Let’s get the boring stuff out of the way!

Cancellation Insurance

Life happens. Purchasing trip cancellation insurance can cover the cost to reschedule, to cancel your trip or to come home early. You wouldn't be the first person on an eRag trip to bail due to a sick family member, work emergency or (most likely) a dumb motorcycle injury a week before the event! 

We highly recommend purchasing trip cancellation insurance right away. eRag guests have found that most travel insurance companies will insure trip cancellation only a short time after it’s been booked, and there is a risk of being refused coverage if you wait too long.

Don’t forget to look into any travel coverage you may already have through your healthcare plan, clubs, credit cards and workplace policies, you may be surprised!

Health Insurance

Canada has world class healthcare. Rest assured that if something unforeseen happens, you will be well taken care of by our medical system. If you are traveling from anywhere outside of British Columbia you will need to check what coverage you have now: 

“Health plans may not cover all emergency medical expenses once you leave your home state or province, and typically cover only a limited portion once you leave the country.”

-Pacific Blue Cross


Blue Cross has a great list of considerations here, no matter who you choose for your insurance: 

When you have sorted out your travel and health insurance please email the policy information to jean.tuyan@tractionerag.com

Where will I be sleeping?

You will be riding from and returning to the mountain hideout of the Traction eRag World Headquarters every day. eRag HQ is nestled in the tree-covered hill tops 20 minutes away from the desert landscape of Kamloops, British Columbia. We are situated at altitude, off-grid and in the mountains.

You will be staying in either cabins or glamping style tents. You will not be sleeping on the ground. There are comfortable beds and cots with mattress pads and pillows in every unit. You should bring your own sleeping bag appropriate for the season. Keep in mind it will be much cooler up here in the mountains, ranging through 20C (68F) on the warmest night to 0C (32F) on the coldest.

There will be limited power but enough to charge your phones and small electronic devices. There is a location with enough cell service to make calls and send texts as well as wi-fi that will be available for a few hours every evening.

There is a beautiful washhouse with hot showers and flush toilets next to the cabins.
