Canada East to West (and US West to East?)
Hi,
I'm planning on a trip this summer going from Halifax to Vancouver with 2 fixed stops (Gateway Parklands RV & Trailer Park Fort Lawrence, NS and Trenton, ON) this is for the ride for sight events there.
Other then that I've got absolutely NO idea where to go and what to see. I guess the falls is a must but then??? I do have a rough sketch (sp?) of the route but nothing final.
Any ideas is welcome since my plan in the beginng was more like "Hey that looks like a nice road"-kind of riding. I don't mind gravel or curves but I would hate the 2000km straight highways type of roads.
Ohh by the way I do have a schedule to keep up to but if I find some very nice roads I can stand the boring 2000km-highway-in-no-time riding at the end just to get to my final point.
This is the plan so far:
Land in Montreal around 10th of June.
Fastest way to Halifax (Yupp I know it's around 1500km, but that's only 2-3 days in a good pace) or a long nice trip upto around Prince Edwards Island.
A weeks riding to Trenton (about 100miles East of Toronto).
Heading West and will probably try and hurry through the central part of Canada and aim for the Rockies and spend as much time there as possible until trying to make it to Vancouver in around 10-15:th of July.
Go down to Portland, Oregon and then just head to Montreal to catch the flight on the 4-5:th of August.
So any must-to-see things??? As you can tell I'm not up for the tourist thing but looking for the roads I must ride...
Glad for any ideas on this matter.
Cheers,
Zappa
