Calgary to Vancouver Trip

I'm looking into doing a trek from Calgary to Vancouver and wonder if any of you out there have experience doing this route.

Any suggestions, routes, training, gear, etc. would be of great value. Thank you...

It's now September. Have you done the trip yet? It's still good riding weather. If you need route help etc., email us at [email hidden]. We live in Penticton, and the welcome mat is always out. (We had a wonderful summer hosting cyclists from Germany, Holland, Switzerland, France - all gratis - our pleasure). Email if we can help now or next summer.

While i havent gone from calgary to van, or van to calgary; i have ridden all the road between.

Once i road from S.E. cal to about the very foot of the mountains on a little, pink; broken girls bike. (no, not stolen; actually from next to a dumpster)Hitchhiking.. lol

I would say that this is the best time of year for the trip. Hope all goes well.

Hey Fritz-> I spent 6 months in penticton recovering from a major bike accident, while touring. You need to advertise a little more my friend... Even the bike barn never mentioned you.

I envy you tremendously BTW, and if you ever need a tour operator, i will drive out IMMEDIATLY. Serious. If you live on a orchard, i have a few other skills that may help as well.
