Sometime in the next week I'll write out a set of directions with google earth links as a guide to getting from the Anchorage airport to the trail system ( real close together) and through the city. Any general questions feel free to ask. I just hate to see folks starting out on their wilderness adventure fight it out on a 6 lane hyw for the first 25 miles. Even if you need to stop at a bike shop on your way out of town you are much safer on the trails. BTW VERY EASY riding untill mile 17, and then a hill that is not really bad.
