Re: TDR 2017
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.

That's a good read. Started to browse, read it all and now running late for work : )
Re: TDR 2017
I like Ashley, he is quite nuts.

Re: TDR 2017
I imagine that might stand for an awfully long time ... outstanding effort and one I can't quite comprehend.
May the bridges you burn light your way
