30 Miles Around Anchorage!

It has been a long time since my last entry but I did a real nice ride in Anchorage on August 25 that I wanted to post.  I started out downtown and rode East on the relatively new Ship creek trail.  This 3 mile section features a 360 degree circling cross over ship creek!  Pretty cool.  From here I continued east of side streets to Boniface Road.  From here I went south to Russian Jack Park. I had my google map and Ipad with me otherwise I dont think I would have found my way through the park without exiting to the streets!  At south end of Russian Jack I entered U of A campus and rode until I came upon road construction.  I was able to connect to the Campbell Creek trail by riding south a 1/4 mile or so.  I thought I was home free but hit construction again along Campbell creek.  You can see my detour to north by the Seward hwy. Back on to Campbell creek trail to the end. I took an enjoyable tour through the Sandy Lake neighborhood, then on to Kincad Park where I was able to get onto the Coastal trail back to Anchorage.  Nice ride on a beautiful day!
