I would have thought you'd know where it was by now.

Just home and will post a write up somewhere, but what an EPIC F'ing weekend.
Our Fatbike team came in second in the 10 man class. We had a ball but it was very very cold, snowy, fun, tiring, muddy and then a bit more icy etc but great. Kaiser was camped next to us and had a good time as well and Brian was running solo as well, though he got fed up with his carbon fatbike and rebuilt his Pugsley in the small hours to finish on steel. It was a very sociable weekend which was just as well as being in a nine man team left some waiting time to fill.
We did have home brew to keep us going through the night. Theres nothing like going out at 2 am into the snow and ice at around minus 6 after having a pint and a half and a bowl of chili. Also Dave your mate John was on our team, He sent me a message the other week on the Fatbike forum but its only just clicked just now how it all fits together. He's a good guy and we will hook up again sometime down that way.

Kaiser in action on the very first lap. By 3am this will be about 10 foot wide and 6 inches deep in sloppy gloopy mud.

Well done for competing, and completing it!

Saw Gil's instagram post and thought "that's gonna be a cold one!!" :xmas-big-grin:

I think it got down to minus ten, somebody said but I definately seen it hit minus 6.
It certainly felt cool when I was waiting for the change over around 2am in my long bibs with shorts on top when it started with the icy rain, quite heavy as well. If anything it makes it easier to set off as its warmer riding than standing waiting for someone to come in for a change over.
We had a wood heater in our awning so could huddle around when you came back in, get the marino stuff off and get the over gear on before you chilled right down. All good fun, made better this year as I was with mates rather than solo. I liked the change and definately the company, even if we came last it would have been a brilliant weekend, second was just a bonus.
Saying that I think I will be solo again next year, just for the personal challenge.
