Day 59 - Koyukuk River Valley

July 8, 2011 - 63.33 miles - Total so far: 2855.6 miles

My ride today was through the Koyukuk river valley with the Brooks mountain range looming nearby. For the first 22 miles out of Coldfoot the road was lovely smooth pavement, but then it change back to packed dirt/gravel full of potholes. I’m poised at base of the Atigun Pass so that I’ll start on the challenging assent in the morning.
