I decided to make a shakedown fat-biking trip along the 60 mile McCarthy Road in Alaska. I also journeyed to Kennecott, an old mining town that experienced its heyday between 1911-1938. The road conditions going in were rather pleasant, but temperatures warmed up during my stay in McCarthy and the return trip was a slog, slushy, muddy mess. Such is life.
