Yesterday, we flew from Long Beach to Anchorage for the first day of our vacation. This morning we headed into downtown rented a tandem and headed out for a bike ride. We took the Tony Knowles Bike Path out and back for a 23 mile ride. The path is right “in” town along the water front, but at the same time you feel like you are out in nature.

At the turn around we climbed a pretty good hill, only to run into civilization and begin the return trip…

On the return trip it became even more clear that we were NOT in the AV –

 There was a moose on the side of the path. We stopped for a while and then rode right by!  Shortly after the moose, we stopped at a view point where you could see back into downtown.
