Nick - excellent photo's. There's something about B&W film that brings out the surreal nature of various conditions and events that color just can't quite duplicate. Riding across long stretches of the Canadian prairie self-supported where there is no opportunity for support or relief sounds both bold and risky to me. But I'm guessing it was an experience that you'll never forget.
