thats interesting

because id heard rumors of this, followed by a conversation with a friend of his that lives locally that he planned to but his recent broken back meant he was talking of putting it off till the following year.

Be good to see him do it though - would be a new spin on the rather dry ride the divide movie..... - as much as i enjoyed it.

That'd be interesting, he's got that kind of single minded determination that will put him in good stead.

Wow, I didn't know that. I was a bit sceptical until I read who wrote it at the foot.

I really hope he doesnt take a film crew because it will change the whole experience for him.

I was in Ruby when Jay and Rocky took the ride in the 4x4 .At the time i was just happy to be in Ruby and know i would be sleeping inside out of the cold that evening and looking forward to a good Yukon Trail after 140 odd miles of pushing my bike.
Jay got sick later and scratched from the race and the 4x4 ride was forgotten about or perhaps not.

Ive seen a reply from Jay but i really wish he would of responded to the letter with an explanation.He has been a machine the past 5 years in Endurance racing and earned a ton of respect in the bikepacking.I dont think he is a bad guy but makes himself look that way by ignoring the allegations.
