Peter and I took advantage of great conditions to ride the loop in a CCW direction. We camped below the pass (north side) at mile ~48 or so. Lots of pushing the bike up the pass, but otherwise excellent conditions for pedaling the bikes.
It was such a treat to have some clear(ish) skies. This is the time of winter where we start to actually feel the direct sunlight, realize we haven't used sunglasses in months and have no idea where they are, and are shocked to see blue in the sky instead of just pink and purple.
Quite a bit of overflow. It was mostly the frozen, not slushy kind so we were able to just ride over most of it. Studded tires were a big plus on this ride.
I think of the interior as very flat, but the terrain around the windy gap area has a mountainous feel. Going scrambling up in them thar hills looks fun!
Peter was stoked the whole time.
As was I.
I haven't really done any filming here is AK, but made an attempt to get footage while moving down the trail.
You have a blog! I had no idea. You should set it up so we can get emails when you have new posts!
