There's a chance I might be able to manage a ride like this...How far East will ya all be comin? i might even be able to ride up to Calgary and meet up with H2Rick... though I may slow ya all down a little as the newest rider here..
I sort of like the idea of picking up a few tips. The biggest drawback for me is the long ride from Edmonton to Calgary alone...
If you want to group ride I can hang back and join in on Saturday. Two choices really and the same distance +- 15 km. Banff to Radium and Cranbrook, or straight south on Hwy 22 to Hwy 3 and on to Cranbrook.
There is a one other way but it is a ride on its' own, and that is Hwy 1 to Revelstoke and then South to Nacusp and Kaslo. This is the by far the nicest ride and covers DH 5 and DH 1 on the way to Creston, with two ferry rides included.
This would pretty much use up the weekend though, and we would have a hard time connecting with the US riders.
Maybe Cranbrook to Creston and north on DH1 to the Ferry and then south to Nelson (I think its Nelson) and back. That stays in the south and no one wants to miss DH1.
I'm open to other routes so map time.
The challenge is getting to the start for all of us.
