55.8 miles
4:17 ride time
When it rains, we sleep in. So we slept in.
Our campsite is on the old highway that is beside the new highway. It is overgrown with moss and plants now, and is a little creepy but really fun. We rode down it for a little bit, but bear danger and the slow pace forced us to the main highway.
We avoided yesterday's rain by staying at the bakery, and we managed to stay dry today as well by sleeping in. So far I have been lucky without my rain jacket.
People:
Two Canadians, Enam and Julia are on their first tour through the Yukon. We asked if they saw Shawn, and they have! So we are pleased to know Shawn is alive and making progress.
We met our first Americans! Two middle aged Alaskan men are making their way back home. Why don't more Americans do this type of thing?
The ride:
Very little water on this stretch of road. Only small streams, so if you take this route, take advantage of the streams as frequently as possible. Like at this culvert:
50k to Whitehorse! Easy day tomorrow.
