Re: TDR 2017
How do you miss the golddust trail if you have a GPS? I get that if you were using maps you probably would, but if you read up on the route and were aware of it... I guess some garmins don't give off course warnings too. re: dogs. I kept my bear spray for Vallecitos, but when I went through it was l...

Re: TDR 2017
I have no idea, it was just a joke! I'm sure he doesn't cheat now, there's a lot of scrutiny these days.
Also, I think that the 'no sail' rule was added as a result of that incident, so at the time it was within the rules. Need to dig out that open letter from mike curiak..

Frontrunners soon getting through the long drag to Pinedale. Not fond memories of that shithole, that's where my credit card got cloned and someone spent £1000 at a clothes store in NYC the day after! Pain the ass.

Re: TDR 2017
Yep that's the one Scott. Sounds like I was extremely lucky in 2015. Well, it was ~40ºC, but that's better in my book that gloop and sage hopping. Was easy rolling into Lima from here, apart from the bit of road into Lima that looked so short on the map, went on forever.

Re: TDR 2017
The route isn't going through Elkford or Sparwood this year, does anyone know why? It misses out the Flathead Pass (the river trail) and I think the 'connector' cliff ascent too. First resupply is now Fernie, BC.

She drives 10 minutes. That says it all really. Could make it much nicer by riding.
Also I used satellite internet for 5 years, I coped. It's expensive and sh!t, but you can get by.

Re: HT550 2017 - Flying too close to the sun.
Great write up Ian, and can totally relate to all that negative thought in the heat and humidity on day one. Some niggling old injuries totally ground me down and I scratched. Never felt so mentally weak. You're super tough getting through all that with the groin injury, sounds bloody awful! Again, ...

Re: HT550 - 2017
Brilliant riding from you both Bob and Jenny, was watching your dots ever since I scratched! Shame you didn't sub 5, but like gian said, it's just numbers.
I can't wait to get back and have another go, stronger and fitter next time.
