This is a 10 hour stretch of slightly curvy road through relatively boring country. This is another 3 hour stretch.
I came North for the adventure, and adventure isn't as fun when it's cold and wet (and by cold, that's 40 degrees; with wind chill and the gear I have...) and that's enough to take away any wandering attention.
The bike is fine, but there's no one to share ideas/thoughts with. The event is ok, but I didn't bring my armor, so I don't get to play; I can dance, but I'm the only dance teacher so I spend the time calling, and I didn't come up here to chase women. (Even if I did, all the single ones are under 16.)
Going north to Anchorage is 4 10 hour ride days, if the road is good and the weather clear, and would be cold and rather boring--either winterbrown and dark conifer green, or winterbrown and muddy water. And while there are friends in Alaska, I didn't arrange to be there ahead of time, so I'm more incidental.
It also costs $120/day to be on the road, when you include gas, lodging, food, incidentals...that's too expensive for boredom!
I'm going to take sites in and head south. It's not fear, it's lack of need, and boredom...
This ain't no party. This ain't no disco.
