Fatbiking the Kenai Beach

This trip has come up quite a few times recently, so I thought I should share the amazing experience again.
I was the only one on 29+ (Mukluk) and it worked just as well as the fatbikes, if not better!

Three guys from Salsa Bikes, one of their contest winners, members of the Homer Bicycle Club, & Jen and I from Fairbanks rode the Cook Inlet beach from Clam Gulch to Homer, Alaska in 3 days. The route is approximately 65 miles, which makes a very nice casual beach tour, especially since you have to wait out the high tides for a portion of the day. Great beginner route with lots of bail-outs along the way. Could be done in one long, fast day or even car-supported with all the beach access points. Highly recommended.

Overflow. Standing water or water saturating the snow. Can be rock hard, frozen, or deep and slushy or even liquid. Makes even the most experienced Alaskans hesitate. This stretch happened to be rock hard, but it can change by the hour. (c) Josh Spice 2014

Good morning, Fairbanks

Just leaving my cabin this morning, going downhill on the way to work, I had to hit the brakes and take this moment in, before continuing onto the forested trail at the end of the road.

The landscape is pink with the rising sun, as the Alaska Range towers in the distance above Fairbanks. Canon SL1 with Canon 50mm 1.8 @ f/2.0 (c) Josh Spice 2014
