The ride through the lower half of the highway was very pretty if a little more trafficked than the rest of the ride as the river ferry started operating and some of the spring camper and truck traffic started making its way up the highway. From Eagle Plains there were five days of riding through the mountains and the biking-legs kicked in a tad and I rediscovered just a little bit of the long-lost touring stamina.
63km: From Eagle Plains along the top of the range.
73km: Roller-coaster over the Ogilvie Range.
85km: Gradual up long-side the Peel River then up a pass.
77km: Up the long final pass all day.
112km: Down the last 72km of the Dempster Hwy then along the North Klondike Hwy to Dawson City.

Found this photo on the wall of the Eagle Plains restaurant. This is how they used to bike the Dempster. Truly hardcore! That tent would be 10kg.

The beautiful road through the shallow valley on the way up to the final pass of the Dempster.

The lovely Co-Motion near the Tombstone Mountain campsite about one day’s ride (75km) from the bottom of the highway.

Sometimes you just get really really lucky with a hotel (as I did at he lovely Downtown Hotel in Dawson City). Leg Heaven feels a little bit like this.

Dawson City is a cute gold-rush nostalgia town in northern Yukon; with great pizza, lashings of beer and a large spa bath.
Loving your story as it unfolds ~ stay safe xx
Cheers Nikki. I am yet to receive any encouragement at all from your antipodean sister so will contact and roundly castigate her immediately!
hello again Bob. Great to watch your videos. The mighty Co-Motion seems to get along at a good rate of knots:very impressive! Sty safe my friend.
My editing skills are coming along as I discover more curious little buttons in this video software. I only have one song though so hope you like Spanish.
Looking good, bro. Except for the bod in the spa. Northern exposure I guess you would call that. Mercifully it’s not a salt lake!! 😜👍
Hey Rob, hope it’s all going well, and the legs are getting ever stronger. All looks spectacular and fun!
Just letting you know (for when you are tired of pedaling) that the Triumph is now back at HWR, all sorted… I even put the cover on ;), chris jc
Thanks John. Appreciated.
