ITI

Thank you, my friend LTC Greg Henning for making us ware about the Iditarod Trail Invitational named after the famed Iditarod dog-sled race.
"One of the most challenging experiences on the planet, participants brave extreme physical, environmental and mental challenges as they work their way along the historic Iditarod Trail on bicycle, foot or skis. Requiring self-sufficiency and the considerable resilience to make it through up to 30 frozen days and nights, the Iditarod Trail Invitational has built its reputation on notoriously inhospitable conditions and minimal outside support."

Iditarod Trail Invitational has three levels:
1. ITI 150 [miles] "The gateway to the Alaskan wilderness, the ITI 150 provides competitors with a genuine Alaskan experience along the first 150 miles of the historic Iditarod Trail. Perfect for adventurers looking for a new challenge and for those aspiring to qualify for the ITI 350."
2. ITI 350 [miles] "The allure of exploring the Iditarod Trail draws athletes and adventurers from around the globe who have qualified to undertake the challenge of covering 350 miles of Alaskan wilderness on bicycle, foot or skis."
3. ITI 1,000 [miles] "The pinnacle of all winter ultra-marathons, the ITI 1000 takes competitors through the far reaches of the Alaskan wilderness, following the Iditarod Trail to its conclusion under the famed burled arch in Nome, Alaska. Only the most intrepid and prepared adventurers need apply."

Groan! Think I will pass on this, maybe if I were 40 years younger.

I haven’t done any fat biking but I will be riding my bike to Fairbanks this summer. Start point, Boise, ID
