Yesterday was a long ride of 440 miles (700 km) from Beaver Creek, Canada (on the border with the US) to Anchorage in Alaska. But, the border crossing only took approx. 10 minutes and even included jokes with the official (Turkmenistan included no jokes and took 8 hours).
After an initial icy start (we took our time over breakfast to let things warm up a bit) we had a beautifully clear day, with fantastic smooth twisting roads and amazing scenery. That was pretty much it - great roads and scenery, oh yes and many beers that night in Anchorage.
These three pictures were all taken from the same spot, I stopped the bike on the side of the road and took them - across the road, in front and behind me, didn't even get off the bike.
