Two Weeks to Go

Two weeks to go and I’ve acquired 99.9% of everything I think I’ll need. A pair of Continental TKC70 tires were spooned on this week and I picked up a set of tubes just in case.

A Note From Alf

A trip to Alaska with fellow long time riding buddies, aka Phat Barstewards, is a Bucket List trip. Well, at least for most of us. Steve’s bucket apparently has a hole in it because this is a return trip for him. I’ve known Steve the longest and have ridden with him the least. Back inContinue reading “A Note From Alf”
