Gear Talk / Trailer for Dog?

« on: October 10, 2004, 05:13:17 pm »

Just looking for suggestions on what trailer to try for my Basset Hound, who is a good hiker but not up to chasing a bicycle for any distance.  I got a Yakima Big Tow trailer on closeout with hopes that I could use that for the local bike trail, etc., but it's a bit tippy and also easy for him to jump out of unless he's strapped in to the point he can't move at all.  I'd like to do some touring, as well, and have thought of a Burley Nomad or the such.  Those child trailers look awfully big and cumbersome but I may try that if I have to in order take the little guy along.  I would appreciate any first-hand experiences.  Thanks.

Didn't there used to be an A.C. route from Alaska to Montana?  Why did it disappear from the A.C. website?

Routes / Transportation to Banff

« on: June 10, 2005, 01:25:28 am »

I will be doing part of the Great Divide route later this year and had planned on taking the Amtrak to Whitefish to begin but now am tempted to ad the new Canadian portion to my schedule.  Does anyone have any information on public transportation options to Banff (rail, bus, etc) that would be "bicycle friendly"?  I'll be coming from Portland, OR, by the way.
