A leisurely day today - 325 miles from Tok to Anchorage. The weather is good and this was the first day that I didn't have rain gear on. This part of the road is quite spectacular too - the Wrangell - St Elias Mountains to the south, the Matanuska Glacier in the bottom of the valley, and then a smooth run into the metropolis of Anchorage.
Although this is my destination, it feels like this should just be the start of everything. There are so many places to go from here. I have been running into riders all along the way that are going up to Prudhoe Bay, or up to Inuvik in Northern Yukon. There is an interesting road over from Tok to Dawson called the Top of the World Highway - that looks really interesting (I was tempted to forget all about the marathon and join some riders going over on that route instead). However, I guess I should leave something undone for the next trip?
Here in Anchorage it is warm and sunny, almost hot. Time for rest and recuperation before the marathon on Saturday. It has been a great trip - 3320 miles in 7 days - I could do with a day off tomorrow.

Steve, glad you made it safely. Hope the calf (will) hold up. Brian.
No problem with bike vibrations then? Has the calf recovered though? Good luck finding out. Biking home, or some other form of transport?
