AlCan ain't an easy 'road' race

Last Fri night finished AlCan ITT in 7 d 16 h. After 3 finishes at TDR and CTR and AZT 750 I can tell you all that the AlCan was every bit as challenging with dirt especially in the Yukon where there is constant climbing in headwinds on dirt and gravel. Four days of pounding rain and headwinds cost me a day but the ride was well worth it seeing many Griz, black bear & wolf. I will post up a detailed blog on race site with tips for those wanting to give it a try. In many ways this was much tougher than the divide as there was little info and scant places to resupply for times over 325 miles between towns and lots of long climbs. Will share more when I return from touring BC and Wa with my wife. Best of luck to those still on the TDR and congrats to the finishers.

I had no idea that riding the Alaska Highway was some kind of a racing thing now. Will be interested to hear more about it.
