Riding the motorcycle and spyder in Alaska

It has been awhile since the last post. Lots of adventures and pictures to catch up on, and still adventures from last year to still publish.

We took the last 2 days to enjoy the good weather and do some site seeing on the bikes. Saturday we joined the Goldwing club for a ride from Anchorage to Girdwood.

Parking lot where we had breakfast.



With this being such a short ride we broke away from the group and headed farther south to Portage Glacier. Three Can-am Spyders and on Harley along for the ride. the ride along Turnagain Arm was spectacular, with just some high thin clouds and plenty of blue sky.


Portage Lake below the Glacier, still some ice.
 Turnagain Arm waters were very calm.


On Sunday we headed out the Glenn Highway to have some blueberry pie at the Eureka Lodge.
Skies weren't as cooperative as on Saturday but still made for a nice ride. Stopped about 5 miles short of the lodge as a very large thunderstorm was putting down some serious rain with what looked like some possible hail. We turned around and had an awesome lunch at the Grand View Lodge. If you want an awesome lunch around mile 110 of the Glenn Highway then stop at the Grand View. The Jalapeno Burger with homemade jalapeno mayonnaise is to die for. The mixed berry pie was also very well worth the stop. We hit the lodge just as the rain started.

The ride back to Palmer had a few raindrops here and there but was an awesome ride.

Here is a picture from a previous ride.
