Just thought I might start a thread on roads that I know are worth your while depending on the direction you are heading there are alot of good roads here in BC that I've ridden and will ride again and again as soon as the white stuff goes away.
The Fraser Canyon, Boston Bar to Cache Creek, really nice, lots of passing lanes and not so much traffic now that the coquahalla is free. Stay off the coquihalla if you don't like really fast slabs. It does the purpose and is really fast but not as challenging as the Canyon. Fraser Canyon is hot, dry and right by the river, if you can get out front it's an awsome ride when you can break free. I rode Hells Canyon last year and it's a little like that without all the fifth wheels and real passing lanes, why can't some people understand what pull out lanes are?
Duffy lake road, Lilloette to Whistler, it's rough comign out of Lilloette but turns nice and is really twisty, the Harley boys are worn out throwing thier tractors around by the time they hit Pemperton. Then it's the sea to sky from whistler to Vancouver. They redid the whole thing for the Olympics and it's an awsome ride if you can avoid the RCMP. The speed limit is something like 90 kph, or 55mph, no one can actually do that. Remember 40 klp over in BC and they will take your bike away, leave you on the side of the road with you bags. I've heard it done on the Sea to Sky. I wish they would just give us the road for a day of real riding, Real nice long fast double lane sweepers, it can be some seriouse fun.
From Castlegar up to Nakusp, then over the Needles Ferry to Vernon, nice road, rough sometimes but never any traffic to think about, and then Vernon to Kamloops.
Merrit to Princton, nice road, no traffic.
Princton to Summerland, another good road I'm told, I'm going to try it this year.
Merrit to Spences Bridge, another nice road with limited traffic and nice twistys.
Hope princton, Aspen Grove, always a cool ride unless you get alot of traffic, but if you go from Castlegar, Grand Forks, Osoyoose all the way to Hope it's a cool ride. Osoyoose is hot, Christina lake is the hottest tree lined lake in North America just outside Grand Forks.
If you have any questions I've been riding around here awhile and can give my opinion, not that it's worth much, so I won't charge much, just steal a beer like a good Canadian.
