summer of 2006 (june/july possibly August/
Fund raiser road ride from Seattle to Key West
driver/mechanic/physio/coach/internet guru/ PA/friend
It looks like we would be two guys riding.

Car would be provided although someone with a van could be an asset and clearly use of the vehicle would be monetized.

I would pay for lodging/food/flights/plus pocket money.
no preference in age or sex - A big personality and some references essential.

looking forward hearing from you.

Routes / through Wash state/ BC any route suggestions?

« on: January 31, 2005, 10:37:42 am »

As part of my first major leg of my Transcontinental ride I plan on riding from Seattle, Olympia Nat Park,
Vancouver Island through BC to Calgary.

I have read books on 3 routes through BC, either through Whistler, Fraser River canyon or south through the Kootenays.

Through Whistler, I understand 2nd half is a gorgous ride but from V'ver to Whistler road even in summer is
very busy.

Through Fraser River Canyon, I drove once and I remember road was very busy, before the new Turnpike was built. I am leaning towards this choice for the
sheer beauty of the Canyon.

Third choice is along the US boarder, I understand the
Kootenay lakes are beautiful, but I know very little
about the road suitability for cyclists.

I would welcome any info and suggestions.

Thanks

in summer of 2006 I am planning a fundraiser run from Seattle to Key West, via Calgary and Twin Cities.
I am planning to use a support vehicle, probably two bikes and will be looking for a qualified Masseur/se/Driver. Time period May 06 for an estimated 45/60 days.

I am welcoming helpful hints, suggestions, and interest.
