My advice is to try to get to the stopping points. The start and end are the best, but other than that there are the various points along the route. Those video shots are better than the typical moving shots.
That would be good, although you would get the best footage by actually taking part since you would then be there for all the stopping points.
As for uploading, I recommend Zippyshare.com
I look forward to seeing your vids since I can't be there to make my own this time
