The 2016 GST was wet, cold and overgrown … but nice to read! Christopher Bennett rode the GST and wrote an article, published on Backpackers Magazine: Link

My favorite quotes are:

“The freedom of the trail, the beauty of nature, and the adventure of the GST. Riding does not get better than this!”

“If you are going to try and ride this, the most important thing you need to have is a sense of humour.”

“It is a 10/10 when it comes to adventurous challenges and should be on any bikepacking to-do list.”

“One learns very quickly on that when the border was established it was not done with cyclists in mind.”

“It made me really appreciate the freedom that we have in our lives today.”
