Riding the spine

I would love to do something like that. They seem to be doing pretty technical riding with an extra cycle, I didn't think they would handle that too well but they seem fine.

Might try a small off road coast to coast in Scotland sometime this year staying in bothies and bivying. I did a 1 nighter in the outer hebrides a few years ago with some mates, I had a great time but I'm not sure about the rest of them. The weather was grim and there was loads of really hard climbing. Only me and another did the second day everyone else bailed and cycled back on roads, the second day was far easier better cycling too.

Do it, I did one this autumn and it was and I'm defiantly heading back this summer to finish off some unfinished routes. It is very tough as you say (I had 5 days worth of food at one point not that I needed to but I just wanted to avoid people) and there is some tough pushing but it's worth it.

In the same vain as the riding the spine guys trip this guy is riding the length of the Americas too and keeping largely off road. Writing's a bit pretentious and his bike setup seems to change with every journey entry but some excellent photos.
