From Anchorage to Ushuaia by Bike

We put the alarm clock early this morning, to leave early for that long day coming up. But we could hear rain against our tent and that stopped us. We did not want to bike under this rain.

So we decided to have a look at the weather forecast on the Internet. It told us that for today and the coming week, we would have a cloudy weather with scattered showers. Well, we decided to leave and packed all our bags, without much motivation. Then, we went to the Lodge to have a nice breakfast and the rain stopped.

Once more we tested the hospitality of Alaskan people: our neighbor Dave gave us 2 burgers and sausages for the day. We were ready to leave.

As it was written on the Milepost, we had to go uphill but this time, there was no downhill between, which was much better for the mind! After 4 hours of hard biking, we finally got to that pass, while heavy rain was beginning to fall down. We just had the time to shelter our bikes and to enter the Eureka Lodge, for a late lunch (5pm!). The weather outside has been really bad for the next 2 hours! So we took our time and enjoyed this break.
Then we kept going biking downhill, once the rain had stopped … and the sun was back!

As soon as we had arrived at the campground and pinched our tent, the owner’s daughter came with 2 large plates of food: amazing … and so so nice!!
