Hello from Alaska

[rezonatefreq]

Just joined this group today. Pretty new to electric bikes less than a year but am hooked. own, well the wife own a Radrunner. We had recent adventure on ebikes in Denali Park in Alaska. 7 ebikes, 8 people including 1 toddler, 4 dogs, 3 days, 100 miles, 4000 ft increase in elevation. Was a great adventure.

Welcome to EBR I just bought a specialized Como I'm very new to ebikes But not new to bicycling or motorcycle looking forward getting on the road

Welcome to both of you. resonatefreq, one hundred miles must have been some trek. If you have some photos of your venture, we’d love to see them, and Rich, you’re going to get hooked on these ebikes. You can go where motorcycles can’t and really appreciate nature at its best. Good luck to all of you and keep us posted.

Beautiful riding country. Ever run into any menacing fauna?

Part of the experience of Denali Park is encountering the local wildlife. We saw wolf, moose, grizzly bear, caribou, rabbits and ground squirrels. Probably could have seen more birds like ptarmigan if we would have looked harder. Its a good idea to carry bear spray just in case but typically the wildlife stays a ways back. We stuck to the road, but if you go off road on the trails then then bear spray and if you are inclined a pistol is not a bad idea. When we are fishing on the Kenai River many times you have to "compete" with bears for the salmon. Of course the bears win but then thy com up very close since they are "fishing " also. Attached are a few photos.

Never been there, but it's the idea of all the wildlife that makes we want to visit. Bucket list ... along with so many places.
