There are high winds this morning, which will make for a difficult ride out. The ride to Fairbanks runs past Denali National Park and by Mount McKinley - although we don't hold out any hope of seeing it, with all the thick mists that encircle to tops of the lower mountains here from Anchorage.
From Fairbanks, we ride to Coldfoot, a small camp inside the Artic Circle about 270 miles north and then the final 230 miles to Deadhorse in Prudhoe Bay. Here we have three nights to focus before starting at the gates to the oil fields in Deadhorse. Communication will be limited in this section, as it is so remote and phone lines are often down.
