Jeff's Alaskan Bike Trip 2010

I finally ordered my final items for the trip. I needed a second pair of gloves, a tank bag, highway pegs and clear glasses. With these items, I'm left with only needing a camera and possibly a video camera. I just don't want to miss on out on the beautiful scenery I believe we will be seeing.

My bike has arrived and passed through the Port of Tacoma and heading to the Port of Anchorage. My bike being there on Friday is comforting. Losing my bike for three weeks is not comforting. I think the people from the shipping company also can't wait to meet someone who would ship their bike to Alaska to ride it back. I'm starting to get a feeling of the enormity of this ride.

John and I finalized some plans for where we will be staying the first couple days. We are going as cheap as possible. Hostels seem to be readily available up north so we are going to try them out. Each one has wifi, water, etc. The weather forecasts for next week appear to be pretty good.
