Vancouver Island is indeed a great place. When I was there a few years ago I spent a few days mountain biking around Cumberland, and also took a trip to Tofino (which was beautiful). I also went to Whistler via Squamish, also doing mountain biking, and while in Whistler mostly rode the quieter trails over the other side of Alta Lake (and they were amazing).
