Jeff's Alaskan Bike Trip 2010

I left Seattle for Anchorage around 5:40 eastern time. I got to Anchorage about 8:50 eastern time. It's been one long day of airlines. Did you know the Alaskan Sports Hall of Fame is at the airport? I found that quite bizarre. The walls are covered with dog sledders, skiers, hockey players and two former Duke basketball players. Just another reason to hate Duke. The best plaque belonged to some high school kid who the cross country championship for his school. They compared his feat to something like the movie Hoosiers. Dude looked like he was in serious pain running.

The scenery here has lots of mountains in your view. The temps are low 60s with a slight breeze from the south. That doesn't mean a warm breeze up here since it's coming off the ocean. My lined leather jacket is looking better as a choice.

They talk about how far out the tide goes when it's low tide. I took a picture from the plane to give a little example of the change. It's pretty significant.
