Subject: RE: SaxobankSounds like an interesting ride. Do they have as many bike trails in fairbanks as they do in Anchorage? I was amazed to find there are over 120 miles of bile trails in Anchorage. I wish I had that where I live.

Stage Seven
Went mountain-biking for a little over an hour. Found the more technical trails, including a couple of drop-offs so steep that I got to the edge, looked over, and got off my bike to walk it down. Definitely not ready for that yet. Also went down a trail on the edge of a lake, which was marked on the map as being 'potentially wet'. Understatement of the month. It was exceedingly wet, slogging through several inches of water most of the time. I just pushed through, until my front tire hit something hidden underneath the water, at which point it stopped completely and I had no choice but to put my feet down in the swamp. I finally gave up and turned around, squashy sneakers and all. |
