Glaciers

6//29/2016. From Glennallen, we biked 59 miles and camped in a gravel pit.  But this pullout had a spectacular view of snow capped mountains and seems to be a location for ATV's with trails throughout the area.  The bikers started in the rain but that stopped after a few hours.

6/30/2016.  Rode 60 miles to King Mountain State Park where it rained all night.  It is no fun taking down a wet tent and then jumping on your bike in the rain.  Lots of climbing today and some good downhills.  Saw many glaciers with the closest being the Matanuska Glacier.

7/1/2016.  35 miles to Palmer in the rain and little road shoulder but everyone made it without incident.  Now we are sitting at a rather dumpy RV Park, arriving by 10:30 AM.  Some of us have gotten hotel rooms down the road.  Yeah - no more pitching tents for us on this trip!

Tomorrow we finish the ride by going 50+ miles into Anchorage.  Jane's brother Andy is going to meet us on the road and show us the safe route into town.
