How does that sound? Tentative date - June 21st. My idea is to have a nice ride, and see who completes the thing using the least gas (283.3 km). That has the advantages of 1. Not having the Mounties or Police freaking about us getting crazy, 2. It makes it so it's not about power, 3. It would allow for the occasional stop just to check out the breathtaking views, and; 4. It allows for stops if bears or moose are on the road. If I'm the only competitor, I win. If you and anyone else comes up here for it, I'll be able to arrange sleeping quarters inside for about 10, and space for Lots of tents (I even have 3 or 4 spare tents). Running such an event here has the advantages of being on a course that has been mapped and GPS'd (Google Kluane Chilkat Relay). There's pretty much nowhere for a cheater to get gas (My present idea is to have a chase car dole out measured amounts of gas so we can control and track that) (I'll supply the gas, so everyone will have the same octane, etc.). The Valley is crawling with bikers on that weekend, but they won't be riding their pedal bikes Sunday, because their race is Saturday. And the Beer Festival is Saturday, and what better way to recover than a good, long, ride?
