So just like that, chatting with a friend, we decided to start an Alaskan sister event of the International Female Bike Day to take place on May 3, 2014. I created the Facebook event page.

(A post-trip blog: the Denali Highway, Alaska) I love Talkeetna. It is such a quirky Alaskan town.

Morning chickas...(and chicos), I decided to take a ride north and examine the cold wet roads of Alaska by motorbike. What better way to enjoy Easter than on the road.
