If you do venture onto side roads, be aware that logging trucks
MAY be of the very large, off highway variety, though I'm not sure if they are still used. Sunday would be the best time to explore these roads.
Other than that, enjoy the ride and take lots of pics.
We'd love to see where you went.
vik says his route is all logging roads
The route is all GDR/TD style logging roads. However, you will pass through 4 towns with amazing trail networks should you want to drop the camping gear and spend a couple days shredding while reloading on beer and pizza!
He does mention some heavy logging truck traffic
Unfortunately our ride the remaining ~50kms from Holberg happened to coincided with a shift change and being a Friday afternoon the lumberjacks needed to rush to Port Hardy to ensure they didn't miss out on the last pint of beer and last decent looking lady. It wasn't life and death for us, but it did ruin the ride from an enjoyment perspective.
I would suggest anyone thinking of doing this route read his descriptions and maybe contact him in person. He is pretty approachable.
