OK, it's not really Leon Russell. It's actually Dan Armstrong with Adventure Cycleworks who does great work out of his incredibly equipped home garage, replacing the tires on my bike. He also put an awesome set of wide whitewalls on the Drifter.
Knowing this stop was coming, we shipped in a fresh set of waterproof riing boots for Christopher and new riding pants for Woody. My twelve year-old Joe Rockets had begun to fray around the armor, and had developed a miserable rain leak in the crotch. Although the new Kevlar Sliders are waterproof, they're not GoreTex... great if you need to keep warm, but miserable if it's at all hot outside. This may just be part of my new weight-loss plan.
After looking at the forecast for tomorrow, we decided to make a dash for Anchorage this afternoon with FC. We rolled in about 9:30 this evening. Scott and Biju rode down this morning while our bikes were being worked on.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! Nita joins Christopher and me on the M/V Kennikott as we ferry the bikes from Alaska to Seattle.
