1742 km later, Arvid is riding through Whitehorse, Yukon! He’s been looking forward to dinner: 3 piece chicken dinner from KFC with fries, gravy and coleslaw.    

Arvid enjoyed a delicious breakfast of 3 eggs, sausage, toast and hash browns this morning at the Otter Falls Cutoff. They generously donated Arvid’s meal as well as some teas to go! Also met a nice family traveling from California…

It’s been a tough morning for Arvid so far. Understandably, he’s often hit with a morning “funk” after so many days of going on only 3-4 hours of sleep. He’s currently taking his second nap of the morning (first one…

It’s 5:15am in Haines Junction. And there’s a man bundled up on his bike ahead of us. It’s 7 degrees Celsius. But there’s the anticipation of a hot breakfast about an hour ahead.   

Arvid will be arriving in Haines Junction shortly, 1am local time.  He will be sleeping for a few hours. Good night from Yukon.

Arvid remembers this lake from a training ride in 2004. It is spectacular in its beauty.  Shortly after this picture was taken an approaching motorist alerted us that there was a grizzly bear just up ahead. No sooner had we…

Arvid and crew enjoyed dinner at Destruction Bay. Soup, grilled cheese and egg sandwich  and Beef Barley soup. A treat to sit down next to the window watching it rain. He is back on the bike and it is raining…

As Arvid makes his way into civilization and cell coverage, you’ll see on the tracker map (when he’s in cell range) he is nearing Haines Junction, Yukon. Here it is expected he will sleep for about 4 hours before continuing…

Arvid put a strong day in yesterday on some flat surfaces for a change, despite the kilometres behind him starting to take a toll on his body. His back, foot, hands and mouth each bothered him at times yesterday. Between…

Arrived in Canada, with no cell service and poorly maintained roads. Day 4 Stats: 18 hours on bike 3h 44m of sleep (3h at night) 372km (1320km total)

This is Paul back at home. Take note that Yukon’s cell coverage is pretty much terrible. We’ll hopefully hear from them in a while. Destruction Bay is the first place with any coverage, at 1482km. He was at 948km at…
