Update 13 June 2024: Francis Lim has volunteered to act as mobile rider support at every control and to check in at the overnight hotels before rider arrival.
The route is Full Circle, a counter-clockwise tour of southwest British Columbia. You'll start in the coastal rain forest, head for the dry interior, go north to the Cariboo, then return via the scenic Duffy Lake Road and Whistler.

Yes, it's a lot of climbing: 12,800 m. But the climbs are more gradual and the drops are steeper than the other way around!
Recommended over-night stops are at Merritt (km 370) and Lillooet (km 740). The route goes through upper Merritt where you have your choice of several hotels and 24-hour eateries, plus convenience stores. The route does not go into Lillooet, you will need to do your own research to find a place to stay there (though I may update the route at this point). Probably best to book soon at Lillooet at least.
It's highly recommended that you stock up on food and water at the controls at Hope, Princeton, Merritt, Cache Creek, Lillooet, and Pemberton. Intermediate services are available but scarce: Sunshine Village and Eastgate between Hope and Princeton; services uncertain between Princeton and Merritt; Logan Lake and Ashcroft between Merritt and Cache Creek; Clinton and 70 Mile House are north of Cache Creek on the out-and-back section, then nothing until Lillooet; after Pemberton, services are at Whistler and Squamish. After Horseshoe Bay services are plentiful.
