Very impressive. After seeing pictures of them after doing it they appear to be ready for another 5,000 miles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sled was pretty fubr and they were riding 2 up when the second one blew up I believe the one that blew up was the one that was on fire last week as well. I wonder what the actual total miles for the trip was I don’t think they’ve posted that yet. I don’t care what brand of sled it was I’m impressed that they made it all but the last 100 miles or so without real critical failure. Think about the shit people break in 5000 miles over 4-5 years of actual trail riding and these guys beat the piss out of these things for 5000ish miles in 35 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they are over 6000 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p51mstg Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I had to drive to the "big city" to pick up my wife at the airport and missed the meet and greet - anybody on here make it? I've ridden for literally 50 years, but feel like I need training wheels next to these guys. I'm awed. Well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good, it should go to Tom and all the gear and sleigh as it was used, pretty neat and can't think of a better guy to acquire that setup and tell the story 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
