I definitely do not ride as fast as you, Sir! Commendable speed, that. I'm starting out with thirty, then building up. Besides, thirty will allow me to stop and see places and experience places, and meet people. Which is part of what my journey is all about.

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far. I've made notes of suggestions you've all made, and will be fleshing out the route in greater detail soon.

As for Yan's suggestion, I don't have the money to fly out to BC, and this is also an 'Escape from No Funswick' trip for me, I don't plan on coming back East for some time.

Thanks again to everyone!
