Battling Mosquitos on the Dalton Highway // Cycling to Argentina 2

Cycling 253 miles along the Dalton Highway, from Coldfoot down to Fairbanks. In Coldfoot we picked up the next 7 days of food and set off back into the wild. The mosquitos were rampant, climbs were steep, foxes were abundant and hats were competitively dislodged - enjoy!

Sorry about the delay since the last upload! We are currently doing our best to outrun the winter in Canada so haven't had any time for rest days over the last few weeks. A couple of days ago we got stopped by a blizzard, so I finally had time to edit this while we wait for the snow to clear! More consistent uploads coming soon.

About
In July 2022, we set off from the very top of Alaska on our bicycles, with the aim of spending the next few years cycling all the way down to the southern tip of Argentina - the entire length of the Americas. We are definitely not in any rush, and often opt to take the scenic, more remote routes where possible. Neither of us are cycle touring or bikepacking experts, but we are figuring all of that stuff out as we go. If you would like to follow along, please consider subscribing!

meeting the guy who walked the same way up was probably a huge motivator

[@GregMcCahon]

Absolutely! He had some great stories and advice

[@OliWalkersPawsomeAdventures]

Hello guys, this is Oliver, meet while i was walking towards Deadhorse. I am happy to hear that you are doing great!! Best of luck from me and Carlitos. 🤗

[@GregMcCahon]

Hey Amigo!! So great to meet you and Carlitos. Hope you've been enjoying the home comforts and look forward to following your next adventure!

[@griffinwalker823]

oliver were you back in argentina to see them win the world cup?

[@OliWalkersPawsomeAdventures]

I am not from Argentina, i just started my walk there. I am from Slovenia.

[@Carsian]

With the rise of binge culture and short-form entertainment, the sheer authenticity of this ongoing series is a legit breath of fresh air. The first two episodes alone have been SUPER inspiring; maybe one day I'll pick up my own cycling journey across my home in the Philippines. Best of luck on your journey, Greg! I've subbed and hit the bell.

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment!

[@stormytooman1748]

I'm 76 yr old. I biked several trips of the few hundred mile range. Viewing your video I was transported into your trip and didn't know were I was or were I lived, when the video ended. Good job!

[@wileshkasamuel2783]

Just came across these videos. I love the dynamic between you two and Victoria’s fun loving personality!

[@_lenny_____leonardo]

watching victoria sing herself happy birthday made me cry a little bit. beautiful video! thanks for sharing the journey in such a unique way.

[@omare_biketonature]

I miss Iohan and always remember him, never met him but he inspired me to travel and when I cycled Costa Rica I took a picture in front a sign where he was (Nicoya) Cheers guys!

[@GregMcCahon]

Gracias amigo!

[@G____________.]

RIP Iohan

[@wiln4577]

I miss Iohan too, he make us dream big, he inspired us.

[@GregMcCahon]

@@wiln4577 he inspired this whole trip! His videos had a huge impact on my life

[@sailingaeolus]

I sobbed like a little girl for days when I got the news Iohan had committed suicide. Had to take a mental health day and wonder around the mountains.

[@ConnorFranta]

another beauty! it's an absolute bliss to witness your journey, buddy. stay safe and happy belated birthday, victoria!

[@victoriacedillo_]

Thank you Connor!

[@GregMcCahon]

thanks so much friend!

[@scottchudley8646]

Nice tribute to Iohan! Well done.

[@chielmi]

Great to honor Iohan. It brought a little tear to my eye... Thank you for sharing these videos! I look forward to your travels the coming years 😉

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks Michael! much appreciated

[@marsrover001]

Man I was good up till that part 😢😭

[@deamonlite]

It might sound silly, but Victoria has such good handwriting. You can tell from the note they left in the bathroom. In her handwriting, you can see that it's well-centered, respects boundaries, and knows how to close chapters

[@patrickdavies4995]

Man I am really stoked to follow your journey. The editing and pace of the video is incredible, and to think that you are doing it on the go as you are travelling is impressive (it really makes me want to join you). Saludos de un Argentino en Holanda!

[@GregMcCahon]

muchas gracias Patrick!

[@bruce2keys270]

Love the license plate tribute to Iohan ! Waiting for EP 3 ! Best wishes along the journey !

[@LordSoviet]

Hat game looks fun! Such a cool journey good luck!

[@mbilal3gmail]

After watching your inspiring videos of cycling adventures.'m captivated by the idea of cycling from Pakistan to Azerbaijan, traversing diverse landscapes and experiencing the rich cultures along the way alonly. Thank you for igniting this spark of adventure within me.

[@1jeffcan]

Great videos. I’m looking forward to following you all the way.

[@goldenstardust]

With Itchyboots 1 year epic motorcycle journey from Patagonia to Alaska about to finish, so grateful your channel came up in my feed! Now I can continue my adventure addiction in reverse (albeit a bit slower on bicycles!)

[@vzmax]

A bit slower, yes, but a lot more heroic ! And healthy.

[@sachadee.6104]

I'm doing the same thing. I like motorbikes a little better but I have HUGE respect for all that mountain-climbing on a bicycle WITH a TENT on top of that.

[@nourichamlal3538]

Greetings to the heroes, I am Noureddine from Morocco, from the city of Berkane. I wish you lasting happiness and a beautiful journey

[@fridtjofagnalt7344]

Great video, keep it up! Looking forward to the next four or five years

[@georgeramirez5225]

Happy Birthday Victoria, love your journey enjoy your video.

[@viktorpotoki4274]

thanks for the map on the beginning, it really helps me understand where you are.

[@GregMcCahon]

glad you liked it!

[@RVgeeks]

Great video, Greg! Congratulations on the AMAZING feat of having your very first video soar past 100,000 views so fast! Well deserved! 🙌

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks so much amigos!

[@matedemande]

Gracias por estas maravillosas imágenes. ¡que sigan las buenas rutas!

[@freelander]

I'm so glad I caught this journey early. I can't wait to take this amazing adventure with you all.

[@jkitchentube]

The “my tribute to Iohan” bit made me tear up. I miss him so much ❤

[@hooptychoo]

Very jealous, what a journey. Wishing you luck along the way

[@hooptychoo]

Ok watching the video more definitely not jealous of the mosquitoes. Very not jealous, extra good luck

[@GregMcCahon]

@@hooptychoo haha thanks so much Ian!

[@-clem.ent-.8099]

Great videos, great trip. Wish you all the best!

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks Clement!

[@DreamcastQ]

The bugs up north were far worse than anything I've seen in the tropics! Rough living up there.

[@surthrivingalaska2511]

Bruuuuhhhhhhhh, so cool! I live in Fairbanks wish I could have cooked you up a caribou feast or taken you fishing while up here.

[@bikes-guitars-n-more]

the tribute to Lohan is an elegant touch. Lohan inspires us all, as do the both of you now.

[@karlmccosmo6041]

So blessed!

[@andrewkleinhenz8487]

Wonderful. Thank you! Did happen to remember passing Toolik Field Station? It is just south of the Brooks Range. I did two trips there with my old job. The tundra is a magical and unforgiving place, as you well know. Savor your days! You are an inspiration!

[@jaapongeveer6203]

Glad I found this after only 3 videos; subscribed!

[@horizontaal]

Ah yes, I remember. This is what it was like to be young. Love it.

[@sofia-cu2lh]

[@kelvinsepp7461]

Lucky to have caught the journey from the start. Good luck, have fun and I will happily watch these episodes!

[@robfindlay1]

Good luck on your journey. I have done long-distance bicycle touring and have nothing but respect for anyone taking on such a journey.

[@victoriacedillo_]

Oww thanks!

[@jpsaarin]

Could not have found better partner than Victoria for your journey!!!

[@JoJoMeyer-nh9uh]

I came across your channel a bit by chance after reading about Liam Garner completing a similar expedition. As I watched this episode I was completely surprised to see someone I know, Mike M!! Mike is my cousin’s husband, wow what a small world. Good luck on your journey, I am looking forward to follow along!

[@blanigan452]

Can't believe how many foxes there were in this video! Great job guys, so excited to follow your journey!

[@victoriacedillo_]

Me neither 😂

[@jamesporter5630]

Thank you for remembering Iohan. Keep him in your heart as you travel.

[@alexiasandoval8736]

[@johnmarkmilan9296]

I love your videos can't wait for the next one, greetings from the Philippines ❤️ 🇵🇭

[@hugosaunders5261]

Love the content dude, really good stuff! I recommend watching C90 adventures for some inspiration, he gives a great narrative throughout his trips which gives it a lot of substance. Needs a little more juice to it and no doubt this will be a KZbin great. Keep them coming brother.

[@nikamo767]

Haha I love iohan!!! Used yo watch his vlog all the time and now I discovered yours. Awesome!!!!! Can't wait to follow your travels!!!!

[@hary5986]

These bring me so much joy

[@bigsmoke8887]

I am so happy I can take part in your journey right now :D

[@crculver2068]

Pleased to hear you'll take 4-5 years to Ushuaia. That is the pace that great Alaska-Ushuaia cycling blogs are made from (I can't understand the people who do the way down in just 18 months or 2 years), and I look forward to your future videos.

[@amateurroadcyclist]

This serie is not fakely exaggerated; naturally cool and peaceful. Briefly: I like it, Picasso.

[@toadevergreen2561]

The look of living outside for a very long time: slapping and then immediately dragging one's arm across one's leg in conversation, constantly

[@runricksanchez]

Me movió mucho cuando respondiste que 4-5 años hasta Ushuaia. Qué chimba tener el compromiso para lograr un sueño así de grande, me inspiran mucho. Ojalá pasen por Colombia y si pasan poder acompañarlos algunos kilómetros en bici. Les deseo lo mejor.

[@victoriacedillo_]

Gracias Adriane! Y si suena genial tu idea, tenemos muchas ganas de conocer Colombia y eso de que te nos unas un rato suena muuy bien! 🎉

[@GregMcCahon]

muchas gracias amigo!

[@EPICniick]

Greg! You've come a long way from the kid who would skip all the sports and PE you could! Hope you're having a great time and good luck on the rest of the adventure

[@GregMcCahon]

haha funny how those things work out! look forward to catching up over a beer when im next home

[@markjones3425]

In South Africa, they cut the power 2-3 times per day. It's 22:18 and the power is out, according to schedule at least. Sitting on my balcony, in the pitch black under the stars, with a drink in hand and enjoying binge watching your entire trip. Thanks for sharing this with the world. Cannot wait to hit the open road!
