The Story

The ride begins in central Anchorage and moves South towards Rabbit Creek Road which defines the southern-most road of Anchorage and loops past a ski area and the Anchorage Zoo. Along the way, the ride moves through neighborhoods and through wickedly dense forests where the possibility of stopping for moose is likely. After a nice 1/2 hour warm up, the ride will climb 1200 feet up the Chugach Range where the engineers who designed these roads never considered cyclists. These are steep and tough climbs. This is a fun social ride that is designed to provide a aerobic workout with a mix of high intensity resistance training building leg strength.
