Jean with his bike Jean-François' Cross Country Bicycle Trip

From his current location near Ste. Rose du Lac, Manitoba (2004-07-27), my brother has several different ways to get to Kelowna. My parents looked up the distances on maps tonight and came up with this list.


UPDATE: several days later (2004-07-31) Jean-François decided to choose the last of these trip options. This is the trip that will take him through Edmonton, Jasper, and down to Banff. My parents looked through the maps and provided additional trip details for this option.
