    Whittier

    15 de junio de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Well this is a weird place...

    A 2 mile ride through a tunnel on a railway track to get to a town with a population of 200. All 200 live in 1 building!

    Every few days a huge cruise ship will show up and flood the town with 7000 tourists. I luckily avoided one of those days!

    The scenery is pretty amazing, and the derelict building used to be the largest in alaska! Back when whittier was primarily used as an army base after ww2.

    Definitely worth the visit.    Leer más

    Anchorage

    16 de junio de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    The final stop.

    Not much to say about anchorage, its alaska's largest city but its pretty dull (the views around it are great!).

    There's some guidance bars and it's one of the few places in alaska where you feel like you're in some kind of normal civilisation, but the crime rate is high, the streets feel a bit run down, homelessness is high. Its not somewhere I feel I'd need to return to.

    The bike shop dies have a great waiting room however and it's where skippy got his super awesome official alaskan number plate! 😁 go Skip!!!! He's achieved so much in the last few months!    Leer más

    That's a wrap

    Final post of the USA and Canada road trip! 😥😥

    Can't believe it was 2.5 months ago that I was getting on a plane to Colorado, expecting to spend 3 months riding down to LA, then up the west coast to Seattle and back across and down to Denver... and here I am now in an airport in Alaska waiting to fly home having gone down as far as San Diego and up as far as the Arctic Circle 😂

    This trip has been nothing short of sublime, tough at times battling the wind, then battling the snow, then the heat of the dessert, then battling the rain... then more snow. But every single day has been incredible and always in a different way from the last. And despite the challenges that I soon discovered with travelling on a bike, I would head straight back off again in a heartbeat if I could... which I might do... we'll see! It's going to be strange to not wake up every morning and ride 350 miles, greeting the exit of every corner with a muffled "fuck me!" in my helmet as the mountains get bigger, or the canyons get deeper, or even just seeing the nothingness become more nothingy... or sometimes just because I'm so cold that everything hurts.

    Skippy will be sorely missed but heads off on a new adventure back down the Alaska highway with his new owner, and this time with his very own Alaska licence plate just to prove how hardcore he is.

    Feeling quite proud of what Skippy and I achieved, WHAT A BLOODY INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE!... 'MURICA! 🇺🇸

    Now I'm off to Mexico to rest my slightly battered feeling body, lying on a beach and drink cocktails for a little before I fly home 🍹⛱️    Leer más
