You could make it last weeks, a summer or approximately 6 hours. Any way you carve it up, this route was made for road bikes, with its sweeping curves, great climbs and unending vistas of perfection. It's to die for. But we'd prefer you don't. Plenty of nasty crashes happen here -- logging trucks, busses, cars and bikes.

Though it will be tempting to put your hooligan hat on, we urge you not to. The long-living rider enters blind corners cautiously here due to landslides, king-sized animals, tourists standing mid-highway, etc. And mind who's nudging you from behind. Let the hurrying twits pass, because you're not going to want to compromise on enjoying a minute of this riding experience. Photo by http://ridermagazine.com

It's gorgeous the whole way. Beginning in Vancouver, you’ll shoot up Hwy 99 and the Sea-to-Sky Hwy to Whistler, continue through Pemberton, Lillooet on up to the junction with Hwy 97, where you’ll hang a left. Continue through Clinton, Chasm and all the way up to 100 Mile House. Repeat as needed.

Where to stop

Being BC, this route has more stops than the New York subway system. You’ll find countless campsites, hotels, lodges, hiking trails, lookouts, restaurants and places to fall in love with. But do stop at Squamish to watch the rock climbers on The Chief – one of Canada’s finest walls. Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park will also fill up your camera fast, as will the Black Tusk and the other megaliths at Garibaldi Provincial Park.

Whistler’s a must for a gourmet feed, and a look at the skiing, boarding or mountain biking action and all the majestic fitness and hotness of both sexes getting it done. From there onward it’s nothing but hundreds of snowy mountains and views.
