Destination Highways

Description

A Destination Highway, simply put, is a road you'd travel to, to journey on. And Destination Highways B.C. is the most comprehensive guidebook ever produced for the motorcycle enthusiast touring British Columbia. (Great for car and bicycle enthusiasts, too!) Using TIRES, or the Total Integrated Road Evaluation System, Destination Highways B.C. rates roads and highways from the motorcyclist's special perspective. TIRES identifies and evaluates road elements-- some obvious, some not-- that, together, determine if a road is good enough to be called a Destination Highway. In evaluating a road, TIRES counts and categorizes every curve, classifies every kilometre (0.62 miles) of pavement, and assesses overall engineering. It also rates the scenic quality, remoteness, and character of a road. All these factors combine to determine a road's total TIRES rating out of 100. With this total, the road earns its DH number-- its ranking among southern B.C.'s 85 Destination Highways. While the total rating of every Destination Highway shows how one DH compares to another overall, that isn't always enough. Two roads with close, or even identical total ratings, may offer entirely different riding experiences. So TIRES goes further, providing a detailed breakdown invaluable for riders who prefer a specific type of road. Looking for twisties? Is it that remote, biking-in-Canada experience you seek? Are you a stickler for smooth pavement? TIRES lays it all out for you...
