Pedal The Unknown: Media

Whitehorse, Yukon

When Canadians are dissatisfied with their government, they do something about it. Here they're camping on the government lawn to protest a lack of affordable housing in town.

Large still at Yukon Brewing

Phellipe's house

Darren and Sarah

Darryl, Karen, and daughter

Riding out of town, Daryl and Karl

Felix and Karl

Gimme shelter

Felix and Karl. Camping under a gazebo away from the rain

Trippy riding over a huge moving body of water...and you can look down and see it.

Morning after their worst day on their trip so far apparently (mine was probably riding to the Canadian border, we had plenty of other bad days though haha): a flat for me and Felix, and plenty of cold miserable rain, even into this campsite and trying to pitch tents.

The culprit for my flat, a sharp barb-wire looking thing that stabbed my tire and went flat right away.

Felix, riding strong

Quick break, clearly worn out

Our only day of sunshine and wind-free (actually tailwind) from Whitehorse to Dease Lake. We were elated most of the day, and enjoying the scenery for once.

Karl, and great back drop

I said that Felix's helmet liner resembles a hijab worn by muslim women. He's modeling it.

Down the Cassiar

Not good, first one I'd seen changing. More to come, and leaves starting to fall.

Our pull-out, lake-side campsite one evening along the 37

Just another cold, rainy day

Lake Simmons, our view from camp

Felix is fanatical about his gear. Here, he's giving the usual 30 min run-down on his bike's bells and whistles

The first one I saw on the Cassiar, so many more after this

Looking back towards Dease Lake

Cold and windyyy

Saw this thing flying around one day, wondered what that boom was extending from the plane

Signs like these - not good for cyclists

A break in the clouds

ummm, excuse me, you're in the bike lane

Drying off like me

Soap berry (pretty sure), you see these and you know you're in bear country

Ahhh black top, I've missed you!

Great road, and some sun for once - feeling good

So many endless forests

They have signs like this for most grades in BC

Meziadin Junction

Breakfast next to the lake

To Stewart I go

Sunshine...yes

About 7km of this to Fish Creek

Hungry bears

"Dog" or chum salmon. Locals say they aren't very good. I never tried it, but I think they are just picky with all the fresh salmon they get to choose from

Kingfisher

Everyone came to join the party except the bears

I got a free pass from somebody leaving to go on the boardwalk. The salmon run up this shallow stream and the bears come down for their "fish-in-a-barrel"

After so may times running into him since Tok, I finally got a picture of Markos (camped with him later that night, and a couple other people, Tegan and Jonvier). Unfortunately, here he's looking for his bike computer that fell off on the dirt road between Fish Creek and Hyder.

Christian, Fiona, and Gabby - gave me a ride up the hill from Stewart back to the Cassiar, Thanks!

Gorgeous "reds", or sockeye

Hanna creek, the place the locals come to watch the grizz

Paul - met him near the Meziadin junction and let me camp by the lake and gave me a huge zip lock bag full of treats. Couple days later and on his way home to Smithers, he pulls over to give me some snacks, Thanks!

Phellipe at the mushroom camp

Fresh, wild, Matsutaki's that I cooked up that night. Phellipe called these garbage and didn't even charge me

Crossing the Skeena and onto the 16

"Highway of tears" - so many people (girls) have been abducted on this stretch of the 16

My new love

My new friends in Moricetown

Just sitting in the grass... (one of a few times surprised by a bear, and looked at this one as I passed and saw him panting and foaming at the mouth... uhh, bear rabies? - probably too full)
