The basic plan is to bike the entire way from Key West to Alaska, about 7,600 miles.
The route will be north along the west coast of Florida then west through the southern tier of states to southern California. Then, we would like to follow the Pacific Coast north to Vancouver and through the mountains of British Columbia to Whitehorse. We will be on the Alaskan (ALCAN) Highway from Whitehorse to Fairbanks then north on the Dalton Highway (a gravel haul road) to Prudhoe Bay.
Where possible, we would like to ride on bike trails, forest roads, secondary or side roads. I will be taking both a road bike and a hybrid, Betty will only have a hybrid. We will bike through the end of November of this year and should be in the Southwest of the United States. We plan to return to Naples for some meetings and will visit our daughter and family, in Germany, for the Holidays. The winter will be spent in Naples and we will resume our bike trip in the Spring.
