Travelling to Anchorage 23-24th July
Travelling with bikes is never simple and always full of surprises - either that, or Paul and I have particularly bad luck. This time Paul’s brand new bike was spewed out (by BA) in Frankfurt with the front wheel, its axel, the front fork and the brake seriously damaged.
The flight to Anchorage went very quickly and after stopping at Whitehorse we were very lucky to get an excellent view of the mountains and glaciers of Alaska and Canada, and some of the surrounding roads which we are going to travel on over the next few weeks. (see photoblog for 24 July).
Luckily for us Condor managed to treat the bikes with a lot more respect and appeared to arrive in Anchorage without further damage. The fact that Paul’s bike was not rideable meant we couldn’t cycle to our hotel as originally planned, but we were very lucky to find several taxis fighting for our custom (in Europe you are summarily rejected by taxis if you have a bike). Our lovely Macedonian taxi driver dropped me at the hostel with our countless panniers and Paul at the bikeshop with the bikes. And then we had to struggle to stay awake for another six hours as Alaska is nine hours behind UK time.
