We begin at the "Mile 0 Marker" of the Trans-Canada Hwy (TCH) in Victoria, where we will dip the rear

along Hwy 1 (TCH) to Departure Bay, Nanaimo, where we board a ferry to Horsehoe Bay. Once on the mainland,
using Hwys 1 (TCH) and 5, we follow the Fraser River, then the North Thompson River to its source at
