Petr (without an 'e') Ineman finished his fourth 1000 mile travers of the Iditarod Trail on fat bike this winter, reaching the famous burled arch first for the third time. He tells us stories of the challenges of living on the remote trail for more than two weeks; bitter temperatures, soft snow and hurricane force winds. The Iditarod Trail Invitational (ITI) is a 350 or 1000 mile invite- only race across the Alaskan wilderness on the Iditarod Trail, built to connect the gold mining towns with Seward and Anchorage on the east and Nome and the Bering Sea on the west, it was made famous by the 50-year-old sled dog race that occurs at the same time as the ITI. Be sure to listen to ITI350 Champ Tyson Flaharty in Episode No. 6.
