Day 60: Nordenskiold River - Upper Laberge Yukon river camp
Longer day on bike to get closer to Whitehorse. Decent weather and mostly a tailwind. No places of interest along way, other than Braeburn lodge, which is closed, but I speak with the caretaker who goes on a ramble about bears and gold prospecting - wish I had recorded it.…

Day 59: Yukon River Camp - Nordenskiold River camp
Lazy morning pack up. Have full network on phone so able to edit and use internet. Recreation centre in Carmacks opens in the afternoon, so focus is to get there later to gym and shower, which I do. Gym is empty as is the rec centre. Then told it's about…

Day 58: Pelly Crossing - Yukon River camp
Let Tobi ride off alone as I plan to go for a run and then return to the pool for a shower. Run 10km, spotting a black bear near the village crossing a stream. Don't bother to swim again just shower, before riding off after lunch towards Carmacks. There's a…

Day 57: Stewart River camp - Pelly Crossing camp
On the road relatively early and making full use of tailwind to cover first 60km or so in less than 3 hours. Rest area beside the bridge over the Stewart crossing seems a good place to stop for lunch.. Meet Tobi - German cyclist here. Early 30s at a guess…

Day 56: Dawson City - Stewart River camp
Great few days in Dawson. The place itself far less touristy than I imagined. Buildings and streets retaining character and feeling of history.
Nice to have a bed again after 3 weeks. Cristina leaves early to drive back to Whitehorse, and I make use of the midday check out, riding…

Day 54: Waller Fork River camp - Top of the world highway camp
Back into into the Yukon, by way of the Top of the World highway. I assumed Romain would be up early and packed, but he doesn't emerge from his tent until after 8am. He hardly has any food, and says he usually doesn't eat breakfast (odd) but I make him…

Day 51: Deadmans camp - Tok
First full day in Alaska. Highway is relatively quiet and road very smooth.. Nowhere to fill up with water at all on the way to Tok. Pass by one other cyclist - Pakistani/US guy on a single speed bicycle with some carrier bags strapped to his bicycle. Seems to be…

Ride into Beaver Creek and head to Visitor Centre to charge batteries. Not much else here. Cafe across the road has 2 loaded bikes outside. These belong to the Italians that Danny said they'd met on the road - 2 youngish guys who started their trip in Brazil almost 3…

Day 49: Kluane River camp - Beaver Creek
Longer day on road, which has a lot of gravel and roadworks on. Still some moderate tailwind. Pass by the Latinos who are still camped by the roadside, but don't bother stopping. It's a warm sunny day so make the most of the good weather and push on the Beaver…

Day 48: Burwash Landing - Kluane River Camp
Start day with nice run. Still windy and a mission to park up. The couple leave before I do, although in only riding up to the cafe a few kilometres away to watch the game. Do so on my tablet as there's no TV and no one else watching here.…

Say bye to Danny and Janie - who are cycling back south to Vancouver where I'll see them in a few months. Enjoyed the company and time spent together - and grateful for their hospitality for a place to stay when I am in Vancouver.
It's windy again as I…

Day 46: Haines junction - Kluane Lake
Leave HJ a day later than planned after a severe night of vomiting. No idea what it was I ate but I'm in and out of the toilet perhaps 15+ times through the night, emptying my stomache and retching. Never been sick so much in my life. Hard to work…
