Burma Road South Central Alaska

April 29th it was decided to do a short ride without doing a lot of highway riding I had suggested going down Burma road. Going in from Big Lake it is a real neat twisty route and a lot of sport bikes ride the paved part just for that. We how ever are going to extend the ride to a primitive back road. The orange underlined items are short clips.

A friend of mine put this film together and since he has a lot better skills then I have, I asked for permission to add to my blog, Thanks Noah

The Route via Garmin

This is a snapshot of the total ride that I uploaded from my Garmin
It's neat because you can zoom in and move around on the map

A idea of what the ride was about

Near the Port at Point Mackenzie 

Across the water is Anchorage

I thought this was a neat picture with a military plane prepping to land at Joint Base Elmandorf 

The Bikes

The Riders



Before we called it a day I took the guys to a place I've been going for about 4 years.
A trail through the woods will take you to a point where you can get right up to Cook Inlet

But the trail down was all chewed up by pickup trucks, the wheel spacing on the side car is a little narrow to follow the same tracks. So I didn't drive down.

Beautiful Location

The View Anchorage in the distance

And then it was time to get out and get a burger
