"You Can't Ride a Bike to Alaska. It's an Island!"

By Mickey Thomas. "You'll never make it!" With encouragement like that, author Mickey Thomas, in a fit of youthful testosterone, and meticulous inattention to detail, decided to ebmark on a once-in-a-lifetime 3,400 mile bicycle ride from Montana to Alaska with Adventure Cycling (then Bikecentennial) on our 1981 North Star Expedition. While riding through knee problems, illness, homesickness, infatuation, bad weather, and meeting a host of quirky and hilarious characters, Mickey and his group ride over some of the roughest roads and most desolate scenery in North America.
