There are several journals describing doing that ride (not my cup of tea). The first CGOAB journal of riding the Dempster Highway was written by Pat Rodden. It is well-written and the photos are astonishing. IN awful news, though, Pat subsequently suffered terrible brain injuries in a fall from a ladder at home: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/forum/board/message/? o=RrzKj&message_id=142119&v=9&term=dempster%20highway% 20rodden&context=all Sorry to mention tragedy at Christmas. Hug your family and friends and count your blessings! And a happy holiday of your choice to all. Tim (working on being snowbound in Minnesota like a bunch of other RBW members. Bikes, skis and showshoes may be the only way to get around by Saturday. 6" so far and 15" more expected). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
