Alaska has beckoned motorcyclists northward since the highway through Canada opened in 1948. But not until 1994 could adventurous riders travel the unpaved Dalton Highway all the way to the Arctic Ocean! Well, almost. The town of Deadhorse sits less than ten miles from those frigid waters. But that’s the end of the publicly accessible road. Or is it?
In his first book, Ramsell chronicled his two-wheeled journey to Wrigley, a tiny village in the center of Canada’s Northwest Territories. In this second memoir, he sets his sights even farther north – and even farther from the pavement’s edge. To be completely successful, the author will need to ride 6,500 miles in 12 days, including a thousand miles of gravel. Full-time jobs are so inconvenient. And yet, he seems to thrive on the time constraint, while maintaining a sense of humor.
North to Deadhorse: End of the Public Road is more than just another Alaska travelogue; it’s the record of one man’s personal experiment. How much sleep and food deprivation, exposure to the elements, and relentless pounding can his body endure? How many closed gas stations, mosquito hordes, and speeding trucks can his nerves withstand? And of course, mechanical parts have unknown limits too.
