Denali National Park

Many years ago, back in 2010, I celebrated the summer solstice by riding my bike the length of the Denali National Park road. Solstice is the one day a year you could get maximum sunlight overnight. The road's public access is shouldered by snow and large camp busses rage all day long during the summer, making it unridable most of the time. This is the one day a year that biking is at its best. It was an epic adventure that I will never forget. I only really remember the never ending rain and mud. Luckily I found the report I wrote after the ride. Below is that exert of my experience at the time:

So Glad I did it. So Glad I'm Done
