Biking: 83.24 miles, 6h7m, 2,101' of climbing, maximum 42.9 mph, average 13.6 mph.
We awoke to fog and light rain and enjoyed a breakfast of fluffy pancakes at the Lodge.
Then we shuttled in the vans for 3-4 miles and got on our bikes just after 9:00 a.m. heading east along the Glenn Highway.
We stopped for lunch at the
Mendeltna Creek Lodge
where we enjoyed a halibut chowder, a huge halibut sandwich, and a slice of cherry pie.
Back on the road again at 12:20 p.m., we continued east to the junction of the
Glenn Highway
and the
Richardson Highway,
where we turned south toward
Copper Center.
We arrived at the
Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge
at about 5:00 p.m. where we enjoyed a good meal accompanied by
2009 Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay,
2008 Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir,
and
2008 Twomey Merlot.
