Just finished up a two week tour in Alaska.  Here are some photos (mostly scenery)  with some bike shots.  

I did this one through Adventure Cycling.

Man, those are some beautiful shots, thanks for making it that much harder to look out onto West 21st Street, hahaha.  Looks like an awesome time, the Bombadil really looked at home there.

Thanks for posting. Your photos bring back great memories when I visited Alaska a few years ago. Your tour must have been awesome.    Bill

Kelly, thanks for posting the photos. Amazing scenery. I imagine the pictures don't really do it justice. Any bear sightings? How about mosquitos, were they out in force?

Agreed - awesome glacier and mountain scenes!  I also love the open tent in "bug country" - that was brave!

Beautiful Kelly! I especially like July 17-18, what a couple of days
riding those must have been. Then to continue with some days of off-
road riding - wow. Did someone really tote a floor pump?

A Walt wire basket and bear-proof food canister combo equals epic fun.

Beautiful country.  How did you like sleeping on that soft tundra?  What did you end up packing, and what would you differently?

That's me.. but dropped out.. I could never explain yet another bike to my wife.  I haven't even taken delivery on the new 68 cm Rambouillet frame I just bought.

First I was camping in an real tent.  Mark on another Bombadil single top tube was under the tarp.  I could never do that though it made a great picture.   

Camping was fine, I grabbed beds a few days when camping was on gravel rv sites.. hate those things.   Not to mention I brought low quality tent steaks.  

I pretty much used what I took.  About the only change I would make would be better tent steaks.   My clothing two MUSA long pants and two MUSA Knickers worked well. 

We had an all day soak on the first day and I admit I was pleasantly surprised at who well the splats worked.

I accidentally left my extra tire at home and that was the one thing I needed.   This also had a sidewall tear from the head of the nail that I missed.   The park tool boots worked well and this tire made another two days before I bought an extra from another rider.

So actually packing came out about right for me.
