S02-E01 🇨🇦 Wind, rain, and DEEP MUD above the Arctic Circle

The way up to the Arctic Ocean was filled with challenges, but the way down is a beast!

We attempt to ride the full length of the Dempster Highway – 850km – in one day. We call it a 'Gravel Tail'.

The element conspire to prevent us: gas shortages, windstorms, rain, and an Inuit music festival...
