Anchorage, AK fly and ride

[StuGotz]

Since work dictates my life now, a long trip up north is OUT of the question...looking to put together a quick dash up to the 49th state, on a fly and ride. Best I can get is 4 days port to port.

 

Not looking for routes as much as best place to stay in Anchorage, pick up a bike, out towards the BIG stuff, then back.

 

Appreciate the replies in advance.

I've used Alaska Riders (now called Motoquest) and was very pleased. They laid out a daily route and made reservations at hotels (no small thing in Alaska). There's another outfit which rents bikes in Anchorage. Both web sites are shown below.

Take mosquito repellant.

When we lived way out in the hinterlands of AK - far from roads - and our bikes lived down here in the pacific northwest, we rented from what is now Motoquest for short trips to Seward and such (always a KLR, though they had other things even then) - great folks to deal with.

 

I'd suggest checking with them about hotels - they have relationships with places and are as likely to be able to get you a good deal on convenient lodging as any other source you might check.
