Many thanks!  I for sure need to simply get the map; just want some basic info for now.  If the longest distance appears to be 105 then that's OK--especially as I'd be more or less unloaded if I'm planning a credit card version.  If I go loaded seems like there's plenty of camping options.  Thanks again,

Routes / Allegheny Mountains loop--motel info

« on: April 15, 2013, 05:39:06 am »

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of doing the Allegheny Mountains loop this summer and wonder about non-camping accommodations along the route.  I love camping but might want to do the route as light as possible.  I wonder if there are enough motels, etc. that one could do this route as a credit card tour?  I am willing/able to ride long days. 

Thanks,

Christian

Thanks a lot for the info!   I need to decide--I've got time--what to do: ride or take the shuttle and just get started on the Great Divide.  How to get my bike to the beginning will be a bigger dilemma than how to get to Banff.

Thanks again

Routes / Calgary to Banff

« on: November 04, 2012, 06:42:34 pm »

Hi everyone,

I am hoping to ride from Banff to Missoula next summer on the Great Divide (I do know the route does not take in Missoula; I will get off the route).  I will likely fly to Calgary.  I wonder if anyone's ridden from Calgary to Banff and/or if anyone knows a source of info for bike touring in Canada that might help me map out a route.  It's not very far but I'd sure like to avoid riding on the Trans-Canada and from Google maps it looks like there are alternatives.  I fits rode the MT section of the Great Divide in 1998 and am really looking forward to doing the Canadian section. 

Thanks a lot,

Christian
