Tour Progress

The bike tour is going well. Day 1 was an off day! It rained, and didn’t stop all day. No worries. Given this is a hub ‘n spoke tour for the first 5 days, we simply swapped day 5, the intended day off, for day 1. Now, all six days of riding occur consecutively. Weather has improved mightily. High 60s today and sun, and even warmer days ahead. We rode up to Eklutna Lake and back today — 78 miles. Yesterday we toured Anchorage with a stiff climb to lunch which seemed to get people’s attention. 55 miles. Tomorrow, Girdwood and back with lunch at the Alyeska ski resort (56 mi). Happy wife and our friend Sally have been magnificent in the role of sag crew. Lunches in particular have been a big hit with all the riders (20).
