If so, catch Tom Moran’s talk about bicycle touring in Alaska tonight at the Alaska Public Lands Information Center in the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center.
Moran will be talking about a trip he and fellow Fairbanks cyclist Jay Cable took last summer on the Dalton Highway from Deadhorse to Fairbanks.
“It was a surprisingly fun and doable trip, and I’m going to combine photos and stories from the trip with some logistical details about what gear we used, what road conditions are like, food drops, getting to Deadhorse, etc.,” Moran wrote in an email. “The idea is to demonstrate that biking the Dalton is not nearly as psychotic a prospect some make it out to be, and is in fact something that can be undertaken and enjoyed by ordinary mortals.”
Moran’s presentation, which will begin at 7 p.m., will precede a film called “Pedal to the Midnight Sun” about two cyclists who pedaled from Seward to Deadhorse.
