Monday, Dec 24th Ride

#1 Post by john »

The forecast claims it's suppose to warm up by Monday, so....

Let's meet at Chatanika Lodge at 10:00 AM, have breakfast and decide where to go from there.

I'll check the Cleary Summit and Poker Flat temp before I leave the house.

Hey Anne,

I was thinking if we left the lodge at 11:00 and went back to Cleary, maybe till about 5:00 or so.

You two coming along?

This is "not" an official club ride, just a who wants to go get some miles on.

However, you should join up :)

I called Chatanika Lodge to let them know we'd be coming up with an unknown number of folks.

At 12:10 PM it was -2 below, now I can ride in those temps, better then the -36 below I have at the same time at my place.

Hey John, I think you mean the Temp at Cleary is 2 above, not Chatanika.

Should be good riding up here today. I checked out the Fairbanks Creek Road beyond the unloading area and there weren't any vehicle tracks on it except snow machines. :sledwave:
