Our experience Adventure Riding in Wyoming and Colorado in 2011 … Leaving Idaho we joined the Continental Divide trail in Wyoming and made our way out into the remote desert/prairies that were full of antelope, superbly camouflaged and waiting to jump out in front of you. The tracks were amazing, as was the scenery and…

When I was planning my Ride Right Down trip and looking to the Alaska Regional forum on ADV Rider for inspiration and advice I couldn’t help but realise there was to be a big adventure rider gathering in Dawson City, Yukon, around the time that we would be coming through the region. The ‘Dust 2…

Our experience adventure riding in Utah and Arizona in 2011 … Riding through and out of Colorado the next day we left the Continental Divide Trail and headed south west into Utah. It was amazing how quick the landscape changed back to proper desert and then warped into the surreal valleys and canyons around Moab.…

I really liked Missoula (and Montana for that matter), not quite sure what it was about it, but it had a good feel (despite the circumstances of the day we got there). After breakfast in a nice little cafe we headed out of town towards Yellowstone National Park. The original plan was to try and…

Getting a slow start to the day, including the traditional pancake breakfast, we headed into Yellowstone again on 5 July to face the rest of America that were visiting that day. If we thought the traffic was bad the day before it was twice as bad today. Passing RVs and cars made for a good…

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…

Read more about riding Alaska’s Dalton Highway >> Riding Alaska’s Dalton Highway up into the Arctic has always been a goal of mine for some reason. I’m not sure why but I guess it has to do with the remoteness of the place and it being one of the farthest places away from home. That’s one…

Our experience in Denali National Park and the Denali Highway in 2011 … Heading north from the Kenai, we bypassed Anchorage (we’d heard it was just a big town which not much to see) and motored straight up the Parks Hwy to McKinley Park, passing the huge Mt Mckinley off to our left. It wasn’t…

Our experience riding Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula in 2011 … Well, even though it seemed it would never happen, we did finally make it ashore in Alaska at Whittier. Quickly realising that there was absolutely nothing in this town to keep us there we jumped on the bikes to head to Seward. What we didn’t realise…
