Hey Harry,
Sorry to bail on the conversation. I went out of town for a conference and left the laptop in dry dock.

I'm planning to attempt a TCG (under 75 hours). I will fall back on the 90 hour version if the scenery around Lake Louise tempts me to slow down and smell the roses (and take some pictures). My current plan is to leave CO the afternoon/evening of May 26. I'm prolly gonna B-line it straight across I-70 and visit my parents just south of Pittsburgh for a day. Then take a zig-zag pattern up thru PA, NY, and New England before a loop around the Cabot Trail (time permitting). I haven't fully roughed out the mileage to know if that works or not. Visiting the folks is definitely gonna take precidence over riding the Cabot Trail.

Once across Canada, I hope to take at least a day to ride around in BC, before turning south. Again, I still gotta map out the entire thing and do a reality check.

Roger on the b-fast.
