Hi ... I'm Mike Tuccelli and I would like to invite you to join us in 2009 on an adventure ... North to Alaska!!! Just look at the photo to your right! Moon rise over mountains with a fresh dusting of snow (This was the view from our room at Haines Junction, Yukon Territory). Put some life in your years and join us! Can't make it in 2009? If you wait until 2030, maybe most of the spectacular glaciers will be gone! Check 2009 if you want to go next year.Not coming? Please tell me what I can do to meet your expectations.
C'mon! Put yourself first and clear your calendar and let's go North to Alaska in 2009! My 95-year-old Dad who still rides his motorcycle daily says it is not the years in your life ... it is the life in your years! You've worked hard ... you've done this, done that ... so have millions of others. Join the elite few who actually make their dreams come true. Take off some time in July 2009 and join us!
Spectacular rainbows, vibrant waterfalls, wild animals! Come and experience Alaska with a group of bikers! For your information, the temperature during this July 2008 day was just 74 degrees and it was very muggy in the mid 90s in the lower 48 states!
There is a neat radio show on motorcycles! The program is aired Tuesday evenings 9 eastern over the net with listeners in China, Australia, through out Europe, and the Americas. The last hour of the program is all about riders their trips, adventures, sometimes perils and such. www.sidestandup.com
On the Alaska Highway, you will be admiring eagles, bears, wolves, caribou, buffalo and mountain sheep as you drive. You will be dodging frost heaves, pot holes and enjoying rest stops at the unique lodges which welcomes you with the aroma of home made bread and serious coffee. You can read what were live updates from 2004 to 2007 in "2004-2007 Notes" button at the upper left of this page.
Drive on the original Alaska Highway and cross this wooden bridge!
Once you arrive in Fairbanks, you can drive to Denali and Anchorage and Homer and Valdez. At Denali, you can take the shuttle into the park to spot glaciers and bears, and gaze up at Mount McKinley. The more you see and do in Alaska, the more you will want to join us every year.
What to do? If you drive south of Anchorage, you will see Turnagain Arm and it's heart-grabbing scenery with Russian Orthodox villages. If you want to stay around Fairbanks, go about 100 miles east and find Chena Hot Springs and its enormous boulders which surround a big, steamy outdoor pool. If you want serious bragging rights AND you have a bike designed for dirt/gravel roads (or you can rent one in Fairbanks or rent a car or take a van tour), take the Dalton Highway North to Deadhorse. Try Dalton for 20 miles. If you are still game, keep going about three hours and you will reach the Arctic Circle (the above picture shows me on my '02 Silver Wing on my 14,000-mile Key West/Maine/Arctic Circle/Mexico trip). Keep going and you will reach the Beaufort Sea and outbrag even the Alaska Highway crowd. Biker wannabes do events such as Sturgis, Daytona Beach, etc. but serious bikers will do this! Darryl Petrack made it to Deadhorse on his Baby Wing in 2007! You can see a link for his photos so you can admire his determination and excitement! Do read the 2007 updates, though and feel his excitement and determination in his detailed notes.
This 2009 adventure will leave St. Augustine, FL July 1, 2009 (you can join us at any of the overnight stops to be listed in the coming 2009 schedule page) and going thru Birmingham, AL; Little Rock, AR; Garden City, KS; Craig, CO; Logan, UT, north thru Idaho and Montana, then thru Alberta to the TransCanadian highway to Fairbanks, AK, arriving approximately July 10. There, we will stay three days, taking in the sites. Bikers can decide among themselves if they want a group or solo ride (please read Darryl's log on the 2007 trip notes) to Prudhoe Bay, to Homer, Anchorage, etc.
The return trip will go through Hyder, AK with a day's stay to explore glaciers and watch bears fish for salmon and will head east over Lake Superior. then south through Michigan and Indiana, finally onto the "Tail of the Dragon" to ensure cool weather for most of the route.
Our 2009 schedule is deliberately designed so we will arrive in Hyder for the salmon run (as you see the bears above fishing) but also late enough in July so the mountain roads will be open. In 2008, the mountain roads were still closed. You will see one of the largest glaciers in North American spread out as far as you can see from horizon to horizon.
Here is a working link for photosof a trip Patrick Henry took with his 250 cc Suzuki with me! As of February 9, photos of previous trips As of February 18, more photos from Dave Stufflebeam. As of March 17 photos from Darryl Petrack. In our 2009 trip, we are going to Logan, Utah July 5 to join their mini-run. We will go through Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, then be back in St. Augustine, Florida on or about July 28. If you live within a day's drive from Logan, Utah, why not have your motorcycle chapter do a run to Logan July 5 and join the festivies? Contact SKIHI for coordinating this.
