Hi Mud, welcome to Bikeforums. Whereabouts are you up there? (Anchorage, Juneau, etc. ) In general, how's road riding?
I like the looks of the city of Juneau, at least what I can see of it in available photos. I understand that the Winter in Anchorage last year was not as cold, or as snowy, as the winter in Boston. (We got clobbered with snow and cold that just would not stop. Bad news for all cyclists.)
