Tom
Coolidge
I
retired August 1st so this is an opportunity to take a trip lasting more
than a couple of weeks. I will be
riding to Whittier and taking the ferry to Valdez. Then on to Tok and Chicken. I'll take the Top of the World Highway
to Dawson City. From Dawson City
to Inuvik is
482
miles. Inuvik is 204 road miles
north of the Arctic Circle and the end of the summer road. From Anchorage to Inuvik is about 1000
miles, and a little more than half will be on gravel road, a dry gravel
road I hope.
From Inuvik I'll turn around and ride
back to Tok, then on to Fairbanks.
From Fairbanks I'll return to Anchorage via the Parks
Highway. The whole trip should be
around 2200 miles and I hope to be back in Anchorage before the end of
August.
I
set up a journal on crazyguyonabike.com which can be reached at the
following URL I will try to update
the journal each time I can hook up to the internet. I expect that will be about half the
time, but less often in the Northwest Territories.
http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/?o=3Tzut&doc_id=5632&v=R
I
also will be using a SPOT to check in at the beginning and end of each
daily ride as well as road junctions.
The map with my latest location can be found at the following URL

NCAA Championship
Rumford, Maine
During
NCAA competition in Rumford, Main, our AWS skiers proved that they are
some of the strongest in the field even though they are some of the
youngest skiers that competed this year. Lex Treinen, a freshmen at UAA
took 2nd place at 20 km freestyle and his brother Max, a sophomore,
placed 5th, Mike Hinckley, a senior at Denver University, was 6th,
and Patrick Johnson, a sophomore at Middlebury University, took 13th
spot. In girls, Caitlin Patterson, a freshmen at UVM, proved that her
good results all season in an "Eastern Circle" was no accident:
she took 6th and 7th spot.
State
Championship-recap
State
championship that took place in Fairbanks this year went by without any
big surprises. Athletes from AWS showed as usual that they are some of
the best classical skiers. "The big Three"-Scott, Tyler and
Andrew proved in Fairbanks that they are undefeatable in Alaska
this year. Scott Patterson also proved that he is the best in
skating and went on to win his 2nd Skimeister title this year. Next year,
he will be a contender to match Eric Strabel's winning streak, 3rd
Skimeister title.
In girls, Ester Kennedy Ser/ AWS won the 5 km classic, Anne Liotta
West/AWS took 3rd place, Karina Packer South/AWS took 4th,
Rebecca Mamrol Ser/AWS 5th, Mackenzie Kanady Ser/AWS 6th,
Lauren Hess Ser/AWS 7th, Greta Anderson Ser/AWS 10th and
freshmen Anna Price Ser/AWS 13th. After 2 days racing AWS placed 6
girls in top 10 and 5 boys. South High school boys won State Championship
and Service girls won State Championship 4 times in a row, making it 12
times in a last 13 years

Andrew e-mail:
Here are some excerpts from Andrew’s latest email:
Yesterday
was the skate distance race. If you have looked at the times, it was
definitely not a 10k. To put it in perspective, the Chugiak 10k classic
earlier this winter took 27 minutes. The winner of our skate
"10k" won in 36 minutes. Tyler's
GPS heartrate monitor clocked the lap distance as 7.12k making it almost
a 15k race. More….
