July 12 - Palmer to Matanuska - 63 miles

We were on our own for breakfast this morning in Palmer, so I wandered down to the local bakery for a cup of coffee and a maple bar. Bills XL in Hoquiam still wins, but this place was a close second.

Nice day on the bike, rather hilly, but the clouds finally backed off and gave us some of the views we've been looking for. A big section of the ride was on narrow shouldered roads; for the most part motorists were good. Had one 'see the baby Jesus' moment with an RV, other than that, all was well.

Really great scenery, no doubt a challenging ride in parts.

The campground we're staying in tonight is near the Matanuska Glacier. There's good internet access, so I'll try to post some pictures soon.
