Fortunately we have them a lot less in Anchorage than you do in Juneau; but we also have a lot more strip malls and less gorgeous green forest. Keep at it. Next time I feel too lazy to do my carbon-emission free commute, I will log on and read your post.

This likely applies to cameras as well, and honestly I'd consider keeping it as such - just in case! Let it kick back and relax on your shelf for a while, you might have a friend who could use it if need be. Keep up the rides, it's great to hear from other like-minded and similarly insane Alaskan winter cyclists. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's felt like they'd just gone swimming - in spite of initially setting out to do a short commute to work.

I've had it for 2 or three years and it has been with me in 30 something states and 2 countries. It has never let me down in the dessert of Arizona to the rain forrest of New Zealand. It ha never missed a beat from below sea level in Death Valley to 13,000 feet in Colorado. There's no way I could replace my camera, but think it is pretty cool of you and Shawn to be so generous. <BR/><BR/>Today I get to ride about 40 miles to mom and dad's for Christmas. It is supposed to be sunny and 45 here in Wisconsin but I have a broked collarbone so I'm not sure how well the ride will go.
