After nearly a decade since first riding the Tilton Traverse, Neil returned to the overnighter this past July. As part of updating and maintaining his routes, he wanted to see how it was holding up, whether there had been any changes, and of course, if it was still as challenging as riders have said in the comments. To find out, he and his riding partner Eric set out to relive the route he originally put together years ago.
