Ophir > Cripple > Ruby on the river

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Video - Bruce Lee in Ruby:

Says of the teams he's seen going through, he likes Thomas W's the best (and they were pretty animated coming into Cripple), then Brent, then Jessie... not that they will finish in those positions, but he sees those as the three best teams at this point. But as Thomas W keeps saying, anything can happen in dog mushing.

Sean Underwood camping on the way to Cripple: Says he txted Jeff - and Jeff txted back "getting a belt buckle is awesome - focus!". Says being outside all day, every day with no internet is very cleansing of the soul. He ski-poled for about 15 minutes and said he doesn't know how Aliy does it for 500 miles, he's still sore from his little stint - going to stick with dog power.
