any other AK riders out there?

You're south of Anchorage -- Seward? Homer? I'm an Anchorage native, my folks are in Eagle River now. I've brought my hubby and his bike home with me on a couple of occasions. He *really* enjoyed riding south toward Seward, motorhomes or no there are wide shoulders and the highway is quite nicely paved! Or it was a few years ago, I know what multiple Alaskan winters can do to good blacktop. I think I picked him up in Portage on the way down and just short of Portage on the way back from Seward.

I guess it seems to me that with the tourists driving so erratically and/or slowly, stopping for Dall sheep constantly, the other motorists tend to be fairly alert and perhaps appreciative of your being less wide-assed than the RVs.

Hi Alison- yep, I'm in Seward. I really hope to try the Anchorage-Seward ride this year. Probably during the week - when traffic isn't as heavy
The weather this spring has been great for riding - we've had lots of sunshine and very little rain...so unusual for us! Right now I'm in training for the Clean Air Challenge - it's a fundraiser for the Lung Association. Cross your fingers for me that this wonderful sunshine holds out! Take care

Yeah, my mom keeps telling me that their weather is better than ours! Mother's day sounds like it was gorgeous. Good luck in training!
