Edmonton - Vancouver via Nelson sounds like a heck of a route, and 290km is 100kms more than I've ever done in day! I haven't "officially" done the BC Epic (a bit of an oxymoron given it's lack of official-ness, by which I mean I have not left with the grand depart or the entire route in a single ride) but this might be the year. I have family in Kamloops and live in Calgary, so trying to put a plan together to start the day before in Kamloops, bike to Merritt, watch the backs of the amazing racers for an hour before they disappear, meander into Fernie a week later, then keep going to CGY. I am definitely not (and have no interest in) racing but love the speed and... immersion? of bike touring - it's just about perfect.
