WHAT AM I DOING?


I must say that this is an adventure. I came to Alaska to ride my bike and I am building a deck. The new adventure begins on June 3. I will ride to Girdwood, Alaska,which is about 36 miles from Anchorage. On June 4 I will ride to Whittier, Alaska, which is about 24 miles from Girdwood. At Whittier I have to wait for Jim Jr. to drive me through the tunnel. There is only one road into Whittier and it goes through a tunnel. No bikes, no walking through the tunnel. In Whittier I will catch the ferry to Bellingham, Washington. I will spend five nights on the ferry between Whittier and Bellingham. From Bellingham I plan to ride my bike to Saint Paul, Minnesota. I will take a route mapped out by Adventure Cycling Association and I will use their maps. On my travels I will update this blog whenever possible.

I've had enough of this watch.  I'm still lost.  I'm going to return it tomorrow.  I think this is for a runner who wants to know speed and distance.  I'm not into speed and distance.  I wanted something that would give me GPS coordinates and this does not.  It's another packing day.  Look at the picture.  I can't even get it closed.  Something in there has to go.  Now I have to unpack it again and throw away half the junk I bought.  Somewhere down the road I will be glad I got rid of the junk.  Tomorrow is a travel day to Fairbanks.  That is about a six hour drive.  Fairbanks will be a motel.  That sounds like a good way to start the trip.
