Before we headed out on our little adventure north of Dawson City, we learned more about the Gold Rush and just how tough and gnarly the Stampeders were. Those guys were eating their horses, walking for days in frozen clothes, you name it. Those were hard men. We fancied ourselves 'medium hard,' but the reality was just us riding bikes for fun in a bit of bad weather........nothing that gnarly really, when compared to the Gold Rush.
