They will arrive in Tanana next Friday and leave for Fairbanks the next morning.

AKIQPilot Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Team 25 didnt make it far either. They are back at the start cutting the track off one sled. Must have broken a shock and ripped the track in two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Team 12 looks to have made some repairs and are back under way now. They are making their way toward the Big Susitna River. Team 25 had a torsion spring pop out of the holder and rip the outer belt of the track off. They are going back together right now and should be back moving within the hour.

That's probably all you would ever be up for trying anyway........ Still can't be seen drinking even for a trail class team. you would want one of those backpacks with a hydration bag. Fill it with whisky and a splash of sprite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
