Eagle River Skyline Climb
May 17 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Ride together from Bartlett High Parking Lot to Eagle River Skyline Drive. Starts out with easy flat, even pace (16 – 18 mph) to Eagle River. Once we hit Skyline Drive, the group will split into those who want to climb skyline (8% grade and ~1200 ft of ascension for 1.5 miles) and those ready to return to Anchorage. We’ll regroup at the base of Skyline, top of skyline, and again at the base after descent. After climbing, we’ll head for coffee/snacks and chat at Jitters coffee shop. We will return back to Bartlett HS via Eagle View Drive -> Glenn Highway Bike Path. Total ascent and mileage with the Skyline climb is around ~1,800 feet and ~29 miles.
