Interested in doing some long bike rides around Alaska this summer? Want to meet like minded folks and do those rides with and experienced group? 
Check out the Denali Randonneurs, an Anchorage based group ride club

Long-distance unsupported endurance cycling in Alaska. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. Friendly camaraderie, rather than competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring, a tradition that dates back to cycling's origins in France and Italy.
