The plan was never to have either he or Boyd Matson, the show host, ride the entire
100 miles. The film crew would never have been able to keep up or be able to stage
all the shots. For more about the behinds the scenes info, browse Boyd's own
description at

This link is also provided from the Tevis site home page by clicking on the show's
title, "Racing the High Sierras."
> Does he live near the Tevis trails?
Yes, in Greenwood, which is near Cool, which is near where the Tevis trail crosses
Hwy 49.

Not sure, but I think so.
