We almost lost Carolyn to a landslide
It could have been very bad 😂
Instead it makes for good footage

We are at about 55km, have pushed the bike for about 5km of MTB trail , and just realized that we have no stove to cook our hot meals. We have run out of decent food and only have bars left.
We take a quick nap before setting off again – Rayon Vert

We’re at mile 17. Sun setting, getting into single digits temps. Vibes in the gutter.

Getting into the brutal climb up to Virginia city. Daddy’s boys are recouped and feeling good, the emotional trauma from this morning is behind us

mile 24.4 we have experienced unpassable river conditions over the course of the past four hours we have had over 50 portages we’ve officially come to the decision as a team that we are going to find an early take out before it gets too late and we can no longer take out. This will add about 25 to 30 miles to our overall route but as a team we think it’s a better decision and continuing forward on the river.

After a very steep and very technical descent we reached an area that was completely muddy due to a flood that obliterated the road and submerged the ford we were supposed to cross. We looked for a less hostile spot in the river and traversed it barefoot. now we stopped to recharge our batteries and cameras and are having a snack and the second joint of the challenge. we reached km 36, but we are already at 1000m of climbing

Update. This is beyond fucked. We’ve hike a biked up 20% plus grade for 4 hours or so, climbed over 5k feet in below freezing in our summer kits… just got to our stash spot and throwing on some warm gear and eating lunch.

I’ve done a lot of horrific bicycle riding in my day but this morning took the cake

Hour 6 text message update: We are barely moving we are 37 portages deep and it’s only getting worse. The soonest we could exit from this hell hole river is in 6 miles. We are completely wet and the sun is dropping behind the cliffs at a rapid rate
