I'll never write my bike as much as him. All of your clearly conveyed and completely sensical ramblings have shown me the the light. Why does my anger over my inability to beat Dieter's bike right record manifest itself in my voicing my perceptions? PS -a quick google search proved that this is not the first time you've sought out negative feedback about the River Hostel and reprimanded the "arrogant bastards" behind it. What gives? Mission from God? Dieter paying you? Enlighten me, because I can't imagine what drives a person to do this as a hobby... Yes, you are rite. I’ll never write my bike as much as him.

Got to say something about what you wrote concerning the hostel. Have been there a few times and I got to know the owner a bit and calling him a weirdo turns you (the writer) into Mr. clueless. Almost all money paid for second-hand stuff he finds left behind goes into the Unicef box displayed prominently on the counter. A small bar of soap goes for 25 cents -into Unicef box- 0ne $ for those left-behind DCMF cups - into the Unicef box - etc etc. And if you silly-ass had any brains you would have noticed all that free food in the kitchen and those free lockers and was there any charge for the bath house? NO. Your description of the bath house indicates that you must have been drunk when trying to use it - it`s like a sauna with hot water......and there are no steel drums in the bath house. Other than the stove that heats the water - obviously! What is your point about him having a few photos of himself in shorts riding his bike? That guy cycled the world for 15 years and, I believe, 120.000 km.........and he only talks about himself if people ask. $130 for a bear proof container? So, don`t buy it and get one from MEC. The hostel is the only place in the Yukon selling them.....and he rents them for $5 per day - big deal? The bus he runs? There was one other service to Whitehorse charging $160 US.....that outfit from Fairbanks. Ok, you do not seem to like that guy because he certainly wrote more bike than you will in two life times but at least be fair. Calv Hello to whoever wrote above piece.
