We’ve reached the end of the road in Deadhorse, Alaska! 5132.5 kilometres from home!

4750 km later, we’ve arrived in Coldfoot, Alaska! Travel slowed today as we reached the infamous Dalton Highway. Tomorrow we reach Deadhorse!

Dalton Highway  
Alaska 

Currently traveling through Yukon Territory approaching the Alaskan border. On schedule and awesome scenery.

Quite variable road conditions so far (even before we reach the Dalton Hwy), so pray for Arvid on the return. 

  
  
Favourite Arvid quote from yesterday when discussing being on a boat:

“I don’t like repetitive motion.”

Into BC now, as we’ve traveled over 2000km on the drive up to Deadhorse. We’re making good time and we haven’t realized that we’ve forgotten anything too important yet.

Best quote of yesterday:
“I feel like these roads are very long in a car.” {Arvid}

553k, and Arvid rolled into the Forks with a wonderfully warm welcome from the great crowd here!!

Just under 2 hours left!

We’re stopped at the Tim Hortons on Pembina for some chili. It’s cold out there, and the 501k have taken their toll on city streets. 

This was from a while ago, but didn’t have time to post it before. 

***At around 6:30, our tracker on Arvid got reset, but it’s still tracking in a new ride sessions. Here’s the update since then and then below it the map of what came before all of that.***

Add that to this for one CRAZY LONG RIDE.
Arvid’s hit the 450 km mark, after visiting a number of different pit-stops, kissing babies (Ok, no – there were no babies)  and shaking hands (with, ahem, MAYOR Brian Bowman). Now we’ve got some riding and driving ahead of us…

We were delayed in getting to Arvid when the rain hit, so he got wet for about twenty minutes. At the speeds he travels it’s (no joke) sometimes hard to catch him. He gets through a lot of jams faster than we can. Anyway, rain is happening but it doesn’t stop him!

Heading through Fort Whyte!

Not often you see commuters on the aero bars. 

That’s where we’re going. Check the tracker if you want to find us and say hello.

We’re just hitting a break after passing 418km in the city. Time for some creamy fruit!

Arvid spent an hour with a great bike crew. We’ve dropped off books at the Forks, Assiniboine, and more pit stops.
