Excellent video - very best for disclosing the perils - also the comradeship of the race participants. Thank you

Rick thanks really helpful... with two weeks to go until 2018 start I'm still debating solid forks versus suspension forks!

I personally recommend suspension forks. The route will absolutely beat up your wrists and hands. I will definitely take comfort over weight savings for this race.

Rick Ashton thank you for replying. I did exactly that today after watching your three really helpful videos. They were really good from a terrain point of view. I'm in England I have cycled New Mexico but the rest is new to me. I loved the vidoes and it's great to see a brother from another mother out doing his stuff. Respect Paul.

Banff Alberta Canada was the town they left from at the start. Butte Montana USA was the town they arrived at in the end, but was mis-labelled on the video. Note this whole route is very good bear habitat and bears are quite common. Take proper precautions at all times.

Man I would love to do this. Guess I need to ditch my road bike and find a mtn bike. Any good suggestions? What type of training did you do to prepare? Congrats!

Hardtail or gravel is most common. Best to have front suspension for hands and wrists.

Thanks. When editing just reduce the audio component for the sections that just need background music. That will eliminate the mic noise

I can see why people do it and like. And if you're a finisher you have achieved something you can be proud of. But personally I would not call it bike riding.

That's why you put a limb saw blade or saw blade about 21 in one or smaller in your downtube and on a string or rope or wire whatever you want and when you need it to cut trees down you just grab a branch make a bow saw out of it and cut up tree branches that's true bikepacking
