Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Despite setting my alarm to get up early, and knowing full well that we needed to get up to get everything done, I snoozed the alarm and we woke up just after 9.30am. Bugger. I had a quick tea and breakfast then set about cleaning the cabin, while Ed packed his stuff up before coming to…
We woke to a mix of rain and sleet, but on the bright side I could feel my feet! This was quite a treat after the past few nights, where my feet resembled blocks of ice. I’d also been warm all night which was amazing, so nice not waking up in the middle of the…
We woke up fairly early for us, knowing we had a lot of miles to do. I thought it was a cold, grey, and overcast day, but once outside the tent I discovered it was quite the opposite. Due to being in a bowl of mountains the sun hadn’t got to us yet! …
We got up pretty late as usual. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the yellow leaves on the trees were a striking contrast against the bright blue sky. It was most definitely autumn, and I loved it. Leaves covered the ground and continued to fall, flipping over in the breeze as they did. …
It was so wet and grey that we couldn’t fully appreciate the scenery. It would have been a beautiful ride on a dry, sunny day, with mountains and hills on both sides. We rode past big lakes and through Chugach National Forest, and as we got nearer to Seward it cleared a little and I…
We stopped off for lunch at a place in Ninilchik, Ed hadn’t eaten all day and I was due for my next feed. We didn’t really have that far to go so we took our time, we weren’t in any rush, as usual. We finally finished up and went outside, where we got chatting to…
As soon as we got on to the coast road, the wind was ridiculous. We were getting blown all over the place. Couple that with not actually being able to see, and I started to think ‘Hmm, this is actually quite dangerous!’ And if it went seriously wrong, there were only two options; into…
We rode back to Motoquest to say hello and pick up our post, when we spotted Mark again. Chrissy from Motoquest had kindly offered us a place to stay, so as Mark knew where she lived, he provided an escort. It was so nice to have a house to stay in, to recoup and relax…
We got dropped off at the Wilderness Access Centre around 7pm, where we were thankfully reunited with our bikes, and our freedom. What I still didn’t have, however, were lights. With the sun due to set soon, Ed set about finding the problem, while I set about making us dinner. Bellies full and lights…
We woke up late at Billies; the cool hostel we’d decided to return to after having enjoyed such a lovely stay before. We had a day of catching up with internet related stuff and soon decided to stay another night as we’d never be ready to leave before midnight! Billie kindly did us a deal…
