spring ride in ak

[akrider]

Since there is no pacific north north west (alaska) region forum I thought I would post here.

Hope Im not stepping on any toes.

Went on a spring ride on thursday from anchorage to seward for lunch. Beautiful ride with temps averaging in the high forties.

Stopped at the official mile 0 of the iditarod although it has'nt started there for a long long time (years in fact).

Had a hardy lunch of clam chowder and a mckinley burger then rode around and took a few pics.

Well for a 300 mile ride I did more riding than picture taking, but thats life when you get a 4 month riding season.

Thanks for posting. We need a few AK kind of folks here in the PNW. If there was a PwayNW there might not be to much activity on it. We are good neighbors and welcome you just like we welcome the Canucks. Bytheway, can you make those pictures bigger?

Thank you for the reply blufjr. As for making the pics bigger, I'm not sure how to do that. I followed the instructions of how to post pics and this is how they imported. Any suggestions

To make them bigger would be greatly appreciated.

To make picture bigger you need to be viewing the larger format before you copy the http link

Great scenery up there!

BTW, When you upload the pics to photobucket, start out with a full size image and then have PB resize on uploading to 640 X 480.
