After camping in Kitwanga at the southern junction of the Cassier Hwy we decided that we were going to try and make it to Jasper that day. The weather started off looking pretty good, but it soon turned to rubbish as we pushed the 850kms from Kitwanga at the bottom of the Cassier Hwy, along…

Our experience of adventure riding in the Yukon … Waking up after the D2D feeling a lot better than we thought we would, we met up with the boys and headed south from Dawson down the Klondike Hwy towards Carmacks. Paved all the way down we chewed up some kms heading south to try and…

I reckon we have a bit to learn from the yanks about being hospitable to strangers. Perhaps its a mix of the culture over here, the fact that we are travellers on a big journey and the fact that we are on bikes. I have always found that whilst travelling, when you are in your…

After our run up to Prudhoe Bay we had a couple of extra days around Fairbanks to service our bikes and catch up on errands. Not real exciting but these kinds of days are pretty rare on a schedule so we made the most of them. The reason we had a bit of time up…
