see you in BC
HI
Unfortunately we will already be on our way south from prudhoe bay at that time. But as we're going towards Vancouver and Seattle early july, we might have a chance to see you on the road going north... Or just stop for a coffe

Hi!
Thanks for your reply! Email me when you're in the neighbourhood; if we don't meet on the road, we can meet for coffee in Fort Nelson!
Safe travels!

I'll ride from Montreal to Prudhoe Bay at this time. I'm a solo rider too and make long legs (usually 1000 km / day but I may slack a bit while being in Alaska). My plans are to leave Montreal around June 25th and I'm planning to arrive in Fairbanks around the 1rst of July. The dates may drift 1 week (departure July 2nd). We could make the segment from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay and back together if you wish. When I come back to Fairbanks, I plan to go to Inuvik.
I will drive my R100GS (preparing it for the trip right now) and I plan to camp if weather is good.
I have never been to Alaska yet but I have done James Bay and Labrador with my sidecar (my dog Choubaka will stay home this time. Yes, I know, we are both smiling on this picture).

Hey Fred. Love the pic  . Im still in the early stages of planning my trip but i'm definitely aiming to head up to Alaska around that time. It's mostly gonna be a make it up as you go along type trip but it'll be cool to have a couple of firm dates to plan things around. We can keep in contact in between and see how things pan out. I'm in the process of applying for the extended tourist visa and working out budgets, etc. In your experience what's a realistic daily budget for travelling up north, camping as much as possible?

Hi Keith,
If weather is OK, camping is not expensive: around 15-20 $ for a tent. Hotels are not cheap in Alaska (generally between 125 and 200$) so you must hope weather will be fine. There are a lot of free camping spots with no service along different highways. I'm planning to spend a few nights in hotels depending of the weather.
Considering my road planning (1000 km /day), the last thing I want to do at the end of a rainy day is to sleep in my wet tent...

Yeah i hear you. Fingers crossed for good weather  . Dunno if i could keep up with that sort of mileage but if we're on the road at the same time we could definitely meet up and talk bikes and dogs. Our jack russell is called fred too funnily enough lol. Short for Freddie Spencer....

Alaska
Hey Lowrider and everyone else,
I'm riding from Anchorage to Prudhoe bay soon, Leaving Anchorage around the 4 or 5th of August( if my bike arrives on time) then turning around and heading to Patagonia. It would be great to have some company from Fairbanks to Prudhoe If any one will be passing through around the 7th or 8th. I'm also hoping to get to Canada for the HU meeting in Nakusp, BC. August 25-28. If it sounds like anyone will be there around then drop me a line.
