Re: riding to west Canada
Last summer I rode Calgary to Ottawa and back. I went thru the U.S. on Hwy #2, it was great. Very little traffic and the price of fuel, food, and motels is way cheaper. Bring extra money for the Harley Shops as they have way better deals then in Canada. Have a good trip and don't stop in Calgary long as the mountains are only an hour west of us.

Re: riding to west Canada
Instead of Espanola,why don't you make your first nights stop in Sudbury or Sioux St. Marie if you want to ride the extra 300k you will find more accomodation there than Espanola. In Sudbury if you want a reasonably priced room with a good mom and pop restaurant stay at the Chateau Guay,or if your tastes are a little more upscale stay at the Ambassador,they have a great Italian restaurant ,indoor pool and hot tub.
