In the last weekend in July we went to the Kenai Peninsula to go mountain bike the Resurrection Trail. It was one of the best experiences in my life! It rained a little bit on Friday, but the rest of the time the weather was beautiful.
There was also a race the same weekend called the Soggy Bottom. It is a 119 mile mountain bike race on the Kenai. The guys that were racing are some of the best athletes in Alaska. We were on the same trail as them and got to see them at different stages of the race. You could see every time they passed us that they were getting more and more tired!
Friday night, we had wine and lots of steak and brats that we biked in! It was really entertaining to see how the bikes were all loaded up with charcoal and meat and wine. I thought it was funny that one of the best meals that I had in Alaska was on a mountain biking trip.
The scenery was outstanding. We didn't see much wildlife, probably because we were being really loud to keep the bears away. The last section was completely downhill, and it was so much fun to scream down the mountains!
