Denali Highway Day three: race to the finish 40.23mi Distance 3:12:53 Moving Time 1,898 ft
After a great night of sleep, we were ready for the last day.
We took advantage of a little stop for hot lunch. Wow, I never knew how much of an appitate I can have biking.
Met an interested person with a horse helmet riding solo. You never know what you will see on the highway. We had 10 seconds of cloud coverage for the day. So hot.
We also ran into a gaggle of brand new Jeeps riding as a safari. They were taking our pictures. So funny. They created a huge mound of dust.
Since it was the 4th of July, we did experience more traffic going by. I loved to put a gummy energy block in my mouth or a date to give me a shot of sugar to power up the hills.
We were told that we would end with some miles of payment at the end, but we were disappointed with that. As there were only three miles instead of eight. Urgh.
But, those last miles on payment were a dream. The road didn't have potholes, but it was just vibrating with the gravel. We were happy to see the end!
