Mountain Bikes Have Arrived!!!!

Work, ride, hangout, tour , hike. But now, the real fun begins because our mountain bikes arrived today!!! Vans drove from Berkeley (6days and 3300 miles!!) and were kind enough to bring our loot, saving us the airline'$ extortion racked.

My steed sits restlessly in the corner of the Polar Internet Cafe. It wants my attention, I have to leave it unsatisfied until tomorrow after work.

The hard decision is to go downtown to celebrate the Solstice with a party in Anchorage. Or celebrate is celestial event with a ride to actually use every bit of the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere!

Oh, the dilemmas.

We did get a great ride in yesterday, with a ride from the work area up into Chugach State Park, to Flat Top Mountain. Then the hike to the top, a little 3 mi up jaunt. A good little biathalon really. But biting COLD, youch! Good pics of the whole of anchorage from the top...

Must run, sleep is required, but it just doesn't feel right up here. No wonder the natives are a little off...
