Trip Summary

This emphasis of this Bike Tour of the Alcan Highway is on enjoying the spectacular scenery of British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska.  It is not even close to being a ride EFI. The plan is modeled from a commercial bike tour, which has daily ride distances of approximately 60 miles with mountainous climbs and difficult "rollers."  It may be manageable for a young experienced bicyclists but not for senior casual bicyclists

The Model Page provides an estimate of what an Inn-to-Inn Bike Tour of the AlCan Highway might be like.  Although the total distance is 1422 miles covered in 12 riding days from Dawson Creek to Delta Junction, the actual daily rides are 36 to 45 miles, approximately.  The SAG vehicle transports the bicyclists over the more difficult sections.  Nevertheless, the routes are still hilly and challenging comparable to Sumner County Tennessee.

The plan does not include a rest day.  Instead, days 7 and 8 are short ride days   

This initial feasibility plan does not provides a SAG schedule similar to other tours.  It is designed to validate the reasonableness of the tour.  In a working plan, should this tour get that far, additional ride miles will be added with a goal of providing each bicyclist a minimum of 30 miles a day (except of days 7 and 8).. 

The Model Page also estimates the cost of the tour.  It assumes Dave is willing to provide the SAG vehicle per previous posts.
