Slade Ride

Slade Ride ... Adventure Cycling ... with bells on

The Teton mountains, Wyoming, USA during the rapid build-up to the mother of all thunderstorms & an urgent chase to get to camp. Taken during "Part 1" of my 7-month solo ride in 2009 from the Arctic Ocean coast to Mexico, later following the length of the Rocky Mountains

Riding through the stunning Assif Melloul Gorge, in Morocco. Taken on "Day 2" of our 2-week, unsupported traverse of the High Atlas in 2015

Sukakpak Mountain, northern Alaska, USA, at the end of a very, very long day of gravel-riding over the snow-bound Brooks Range, on the way to the tiny truckstop at Coldfoot, after a week of wild camping in bear country. Taken during "Part 1" of my 7-month solo ride in 2009 from the Arctic Ocean coast to Mexico, later following the length of the Rocky Mountains

At the top of the Tizi-n-Rughuelt pass, at 9,521 ft, in the High Atlas mountain of Morocco, with Steve & Shaun. Taken on "Day 4" of our 2-week, unsupported traverse of the High Atlas in 2015

The other-worldly Chandalar Shelf valley, looking back to Brooks Range, over which I`ve just about managed to ride a 200 lb bike through sloppy gravel! Taken during "Part 1" of my 7-month solo ride in 2009 from the Arctic Ocean coast to Mexico, later following the length of the Rocky Mountains

The remote Tassaout valley, only reachable on foot (or by bike!), at the ancient village of Fakhour. Taken on "Day 2" of our 2-week, unsupported traverse of the High Atlas in 2015 . © Steve Woodward

The Icefields Parkway, Alberta, Canada - they built a road through this! Part of me is glad, because I could ride it, & part of me wishes they`d left it pristine. Taken during "Part 4" of my 7-month solo ride in 2009 from the Arctic Ocean coast to Mexico, including following the length of the Rocky Mountains
