Sunset coming back from Girdwood

Also wanted to mention the beautiful sunset coming back from Girdwood. It was so spectacular to see the sun setting behind Mt. Susitna.

Of course it also reminded me that summer is over as with each passing moment the temperature was DROPping like a stripper’s costume at the Bush Company!

By the time we got back to Anchorage (@10:30), night had fallen so we were riding at night — which I must say is a novel experience as an Alaskan biker. We were cold for sure, but it made for a great excuse to cuddle and warm up!

100 Mile Days….

With the winter months coming (and unfortunately yes you can see the termination dust on the far mountain ranges <sigh>), I’m going to shoot for a minimum of 100 miles a day.

Last night Minx and I went to Girdwood (40 miles one way) so with running around town and Girdwood I made it.

So if you’re looking to hook up with me to ride…figure I’m already riding!

Alaska State Fair Parade

We seemed to have good luck today as we (Judge Roy, Minx and I) rode out to take part in the Alaska State Fair Parade with the Mat-Su HOG Chapter. The weather literally held till the end (then the rain showed up)!

The ride out was a bit cool, but nice overall.

The parade was fairly short and we all had a pretty good time, minus the one bike that broke down (from overheating). Lots of cheers from the spectators and when we did a rolling thunder, we definitely had people covering their (and their kids) ears!

All things considered, the Mat-Su guys should look at the swap method that the Alaska chapter uses to keep bikes from overheating.

Long night….

But SO WORTH IT! Figured it’s one of the last really good warm days, so didn’t pull back into the garage until almost midnight! Of course today it’s raining again <sigh>.
