i did it back in I think 2006 ... don't start on the road too late in the day tho, we started on it at like 2pm and took our time stopping to see stuff etc. we didn't arrive in chisisasibi (sp?) until 11 or midnight BUT !! we saw the northern lights while we were riding, it was pretty awesome ... keep eyes peeled for animals was not so fun tho ... Oh and it was raining in some sections and between 0 and 5c for most of the day ... at night it was between 0 and -5c ... we went in september.... bonus was that it was cold but there were no bugs...
