Hey Dave,
Instead of just posting these important questions, how about maybe a few
answers to them as well? Help out with people searching the usenet archives
and such...

> - The route to take to get to Hope BC - because you cannot ride on the
> TransCanada until at least Chilliwack?
> - How are you going to carry 5 litres of water to get you through Sunday
> Pass?.
> - What is the best time of day to climb Greenwood Pass when its 38 C
> degrees by noon?
> - If you go north, how do you get through the snowsheds in Rogers Pass
> without getting killed by a logging truck?
> - How do you deal with the new "rumble strips" that makes the shoulders on
> Highway 3 virtually unridable to cyclists? Have these been cut into the
> Yellowhead route as well?
