About:   The Heavy Rescue 2024 Solo Bicycle Tour begins with a two-day,  "cross country" commute on AMTRAK ~ Harrisburg, PA to Whitefish, MT., USA.   With a three-day, planned layover in Whitefish, I hope to make an out-and-back ride to West Glacier and Glacier National Park.  

Returning to Whitefish, I will head north into Alberta, Canada at the Roosville Border Crossing.   Trails and Highway 93 will guide me toward what many describe is the most scenic, 144-mile bicycle ride in the world ~ Icefields Parkway.  Passing through the Canadian Rockies the famous Icefields Parkway is home of two national parks ~ Banff and Jasper.  Hoping for a two-day layover in each mountain town.  

After leaving Jasper, my route takes me west past Mt. Robson before I turn west toward the towns of Kamloops and Merritt.  A planned bus shuttle will take me from  Merritt to Hope, BC, where I'll continue south southwest to Mission and Langley, BC.

From Langley, I'll travel to Delta, BC and the Vancouver (Tsawwassen)  to  Victoria (Swartz Bay) Ferry to Victoria Island.  The final 21 miles of the Heavy Rescue 2024, will take me to downtown Victoria and the Victoria Clipper Ferry Terminal.  The Clipper will whisk me to Seattle, WA, USA.  

The stop in Seattle will include a visit with my youngest son Dan and his wife Louise, and their adventure dog Mr. B.   This segment of the Heavy Rescue 2024 tour might just mark the most exciting and epic segment of this 1,000-mile adventure.  The details of this special event/surprise, is forecasted for my arrival ~ how special!

After what is anticipated to be a BIG CELEBRATION in West Seattle, the rails of AMTRAK will carry me back across the country past Whitefish and onward eastbound to where this dream tour began more than 30 days earlier!

Thank you for riding along on what should be an EPIC adventure!
