Day 11 - Anchorage, alaska


















We made it to Anchorage this evening. We fell a 100 miles short last night, which made us late tonight, but none the less we made it. We met my friend Joe and we are staying at his place outside of town in this great spot. We went and had a late dinner at this cool place with lots of blue grass. Now it is real late and the sun has not fully set.

Left Beaver Creek in the Yukon about 11 am this morning. Crossed the border back in the old USA and had more bad roads. Not as bad as yesterday, though. Really great ride this afternoon. Great tuns and nice pavement, cool temperatures. Brian and PMR said the back tire would go fast..... and it did. I have been looking at it randomly and it has been fine..... Today I looked at the tire and it is bare, I mean bear. Made it 189 more miles.... Will have to figure that out soon.

Beautiful weather today. Right as I was turning onto Joe's street my gear shifter fell off. Made it!
