Ken, That's alot of pedalling, not sure I would do that. Are you talking about shipping your bikes there and then cycling the state? OR riding the whole way? I would probably do this in mid June to mid to late July. Look out for moose along the roads, they don't look out for you much. Alot of road work during the summer months. AND Alaska is NOT very bike friendly. Not many shoulders to ride on.
We were avid bikers while living in Tucson, but gave them up in Alaska due to unfriendly conditions. Most drivers would rather see you on the sidewalks rather than the roads.
We bought new bikes down here and enjoy riding again.....
Good luck with your plans.....
