Margaret from Old Crow (look it up; village of 267 people in Northern Yukon) looks at me a bit taken aback.\u00a0 I repeat myself “We’re going to try to ride up Surfbird.\u00a0 What do you think?”.\u00a0\u00a0 “Well …” she says carefully.\u00a0\u00a0 “I suppose just because no-one’s done it doesn’t mean it can’t be done.”<\/p>\n
We’re on the Dempster Highway; which begins in Central Yukon and ends at the Beaufort Sea on the Arctic Ocean.\u00a0 Margaret’s been working at the Tombstone Territorial Park Visitor Centre for quite a few years.\u00a0 Lots of hikers and looky-look drivers stop by on their way along the Dempster Highway as does the odd touring cyclist.\u00a0 But Sharon and I are looking to mountain-bike.\u00a0 And that makes us, relatively speaking, strangers in a strange land\u00a0\u00a0 …\u00a0 Pictures and more<\/a><\/p>\n
