I couldn't make it either...
I did do 800kms on Sunday though-- Sask Crossing and back. Hit rain 2x and hail once on the way up and rain on the way back (never for more than 15 min though). It was great though, I dried out within 20 minutes every time.
I brought my little coleman backpacking stove and a kettle to boil water and made myself a freezedried lunch of jamacan chicken and rice (purchased from MEC). Not bad.
