I rode it in 1979 when it first opened and in 1994 for a aniversary of some sort....also a few times in between. Beware the mud and the sharp rocks. Also take a mosquito head net as even with repelant those pesky critters will fly up your nose. I always travel with a head net tucked in a jacket pocket...that way if I crash in the bush I can at least last a while before being eaten alive. I have to laugh at the degree of high tech stuff people seem to think is needed these days. You wouldn't believe the bikes I have ridden to inuvik and back. Would I ride to inuvik again....YES.
