Thanks for the info Denise. I live in a beautiful area for riding - my town is small and coastal. Riding on our local bike path, I can watch sealions and sea otters playing in the Bay - last week my friend and I had to make a quick lane switch when we suddenly noticed a cow moose and her calf grazing a few feet off the road, in the brush.
The motorhomes scare me because folks are usually busy looking up at the mountains and the eagles (I know, hard to blame them there) and not watching the road too much. I watch them very carefully.

I will check out the website you recommended - Anchorage is 126 miles from where I live, but it may be worth a weekend drive up North to join in a club ride.
