Hi guys,
it's been a little while since I have been active on here. I have seen posts, just not really participated.
This June, me and the Mrs. are planning a 3 week ride from Florida to Alaska.
Bike is being prepped for the ride. Gear has been purchased, and I am now it planning mode.
Departure date is still TBD, but we are shooting for late June.
I will be starting the ride in Fort Lauderdale and ride to Bismarck North Dakota where the Mrs will be arriving via plane and joining me. (only 2 weeks vacation from work, ugh)
I know some riders have done the ride to Alaska and even up the Dalton to Prudhoe Bay (which we may do depending on weather/road conditions) but we are going at least up to the Arctic Circle. (gotta get that sign picture). We are also planning on stopping at the sign post forest (I think that's the name), Santa Claus house in the North pole and see some glaciers (maybe salmon Glacier in BC, Canada).
On the way back depending on time, we may drop in through Washington and ride down the coast to ride the PCH (bucket list ride for us) see Yosemite and go across nevada, Utah, Colorado and east towards Florida.
I am starting to plan the route and was curious if anyone has a route they recommend, or have done. Must see places along the way in Canada & Alaska. Any tips or recommendations (do's & don'ts) bike prep tips, etc.
This will be our longest ride to date.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
