Cycling from Joy to Fairbanks in Alaska: Bike touring in Alaska Day 9

Today was the final day of phase 1 of the bike tour through Alaska, and saw me cycle from Joy to Fairbanks. It had been challenging due to my knee, but mission accomplished!

(Blog post written: Thursday 30 July 2009)

The shorter day yesterday, and the extra rest did my knee some good, but it was far from perfect.

Still, I had resolved to reach Fairbanks no matter what, and I would just take it at a more slower pace.

Not that I had a great deal of choice in the matter considering that my left knee wouldn't bend properly, and that's kind of important if you want to ride a bike.

To be honest, I'm not sure how I managed another ten hours of cycling, and I would rather not think about it.

I reached the GoNorth hostel at 18.30 ish, and booked my tent site for 3 nights, although I may choose to extend this to five in order to rest up a little.

When setting up my tent, I noticed that Koko, Cass and Dan had also turned up, and I talked to Cass and Dan well into the night.

So anyhow, stage 1 of the Pan-American cycling trip was now complete, not without its difficulties. I hoped that stage 2 of cycling to the Canadian border, would be a lot smoother!
