Bikes: which one?

It'll be a lot easier once we get off the Alaska Highway - only 250 miles to go!! So far, we've only been finding stores every 250 - 350 miles or so, which means we've been carrying a LOT of food with us!! EVery time we leave a "town" I'm lugging 50 pounds or so of food for the next week to ten days before we get to the next town.

Most people who cycle this part of the world do 80 - 100 miles per day, but we just can't do that. So - we poke along at 50 miles/day and carry a lot more food than most. It works for us!

That being said, I"m looking forward to getting into more populated areas where there are actually towns every day rather than these little settlements of 1000 people every week! This area gives a whole new meaning to the word "remote"...
