Default Dalton Highway Ride, less than a month


I bought the last of my gear today and have been killing myself in
Wyoming training on hills with my pack on.

Are there any last minute takers that want to join me?

Also, i made a facebook group :

join it and support me. I need lots of good wishes.

Hey Mike

I was actually thinking about your trip yesterday while it was dumping
more snow. I really don't think that it is a good idea to do this trip
solo in May but that is your decision not mine. For safety’s sake
try to at least get someone to bike with you, It would definitely be
easier to find a biking partner than a unicycing one.

If you can't find anyone to go with you I again urge you to reconsider
the time of year to do your trip. July or August would be much better
as far as weather is concerned. Here in Saskatchewan we still have snow
until the end of May, it is much colder further north in Alaska.

I still think it is an awesome trip and that you should do it, just not
alone in May.

Good luck whatever you decide, and post right before you leave and when
you get back!

ERIC

You rock man!! This would be a dream ride of mine and would love to
join you but like Eric, I must work. Sounds like a good idea to find a
biker to come along for safety's sake. My Dad and I did an unsupported
ride across Nevada where we would sometimes be without civilization for
90 or more miles. Several times even with two people it got scary
after running out of water and feeling dizzy. We ended up having to
get a pickup to drive us to the summit. If the highway lacks cars
during certain hours it would at least be nice to have a friend in case
something went wrong.

Good luck on an experience that is sure to be one of the coolest
accomplishments to date on one wheel.
