I'm doing the RTCC as well, and I'll be doing what I always do, have my wife pick me up and take me home! Not a fan of the tents. Did it once and it rained. Waking up cold and wet to ride 120km is not fun.

Anyway, I can't advice you on routes, but are you sure you want to add another 20km(minimum, you didn't say to where) to both days? Going to mean a really early start Sunday. Anyway, I'd Google Street view some of the country roads and see what looks best. Don't forget to have lights for the morning ride back.

EDIT: One year the ride came from Spruce Meadows down RR 14 to 32nd st to Okotoks, I remember that road being OK.
