    Had to work in Fairbanks the other day so I used it as an excuse to ride. Rode up the shorter way (about 360 miles), through Wasilla and up the Parks Highway. A little rainy but the Rev'it Sand suit and Sidi Adventures kept me toasty and dry. I didn't stop for photos though. Took the longer, and what I consider to be more scenic route home through North Pole, Delta Junction along the Clearwater River and through Glennallen and Palmer back to Eagle River. Hit about 12 miles of road construction with a pilot car near Paxon Lake but just slowed down and enjoyed the sloppy ride. Stopped for a few minutes at our favorite, double-top-secret blueberry picking spot along the Glenn.
    Blessed to have such a great place to ride right out our back door.

    I hope you stopped at the TastyFreeze and reminisced the Gulkana.
