Ashley has just left Fernie so about 150 miles to go for his yo-yo-yo. He has had a few issues with fire re-routes over the last few hundred miles. And he told Russ at Ovando he may go again a fourth time. Massive achievement.

There's a post on bikepacking.net where it seems he's considering heading back to New Mexico :o

I imagine that might stand for an awfully long time ... outstanding effort and one I can't quite comprehend.
