Let me just say "you're nuts!" if you plan on riding the Trans Canada Highway. It is the fastest way across Canada, but as a general rule, also the most boring. Get yourself maps of each province and travel on the small roads through small town. I have toured through BC, Alberta, Sask, Manitoba and around Ontario. (Ontario, you will need to buy area maps because the provincial map does not include the small roads.) Travel from West to East as this is the direction of the predominant winds in the summer. When you hit Ontario, you will have to travel on the TransCanada to go past the Great Lakes, unless you drop into the States. Lake Superior region is amazingly beautiful, but the highway is deadly. There is very little shoulder and the it is only 2 lane for the most part.....because of the rock walls. Let me know if you want suggestions for the provinces I've rode through.
