Never fear, I agree that riding the west is best, even with less than optimal poutine. There are a couple of good roads in Quebec, but no comparison to BC.

Wheatie, I hope you picked up 93 south after leaving Lake Louise....IMHO one of the most breathtaking rides I ever took.Awesome, jaw-dropping, spectacular...
It's one of those rides that exceeds all expectations.
Tomorrow, we are transitioning back to the Okanagan, before heading to Pemberton Thursday.
Hopefully, Dave and Sylvia will open the door when we knock.

Isn't 93 a hoot, first time I rode it the rain was real bad and it was still pretty. The second was following Hudson we didn't waste much time as Hudson's pace was blistering and we sure did smile and giggle a lot! That is a nice piece of asphalt.Wheatie, I hope you picked up 93 south after leaving Lake Louise....IMHO one of the most breathtaking rides I ever took.Awesome, jaw-dropping, spectacular...

Had a nice ride today to Pemberton. I liked it all, especially west of Cache Creek. Got stopped at a construction zone...Louanne told me to roll to the front of the line. It brought a tear to my eye and a big smile. 
PS- I will say nothing bad about the 60kph speed zone west of Lillouet for kilometers on end. I want to, but I won't.

There is an implied "mph" on those 60 signs Mark - didn't you notice when I was leading earlier?!

Oh I noticed alright
I also didn't say that I complied either
...but if you use mph instead of kph, those signs would be spot on.I just didn't like the idea of meeting a BC cop at 40 over...but I enjoyed the roads greatly while Louanne marveled at the snow capped mountains and river. Today was one of the best days of the trip...the scenery and roads surprised me. I thought I had seen it all, but this trip keeps getting better.
Thanks Dave/FJR for leading us out the back way...great stuff.

It will be fun to see a map of your route when you get the time to share. Always fun to compare notes.

Yep...it's fairly close to what I posted in my summary, just before I left for WA...but I will update in a full and probably delayed ride report...

Wait, you were stuck in meetings at work too?
So according to spotwalla, was I being a good boy and going 60 kph?

NO ONE sticks to that speed limit on Duffy Lake Rd out of Lillooet. That's why it is one of the top rated rides in BC. There is narry a LEO in sight up there. EverHad a nice ride today to Pemberton.

Now, get back up there and do it right!

Thanks barb, but I did do it right the first time... If not, I would love to do it again...but, the hour glass has been busy and the sands of time are all about cast on this trip.NO ONE sticks to that speed limit on Duffy Lake Rd out of Lillooet.

Duty awaits, as I must report back to my tabbacky chewin superiors at fort everwhichaway. They have been waiting to find out how you pronounce kilometer, Nakusp, and about...so we can blend in with the locals during the counterstrike against Billy Ray's Polish Legion.

Today we left Pemberton for locations south. Ride along the Sound/Bay was beautiful. The PNWers gave us a parting meal with lots of good food, fun stories, and great friendship. Thanks to George and the gang!
Tomorrow, time with family in Seattle then jet home on Monday.
This trip is about over, but maybe with some photos I can scrounge up a ride report.
