OK folks this is one of the best rides of the season, at least for our local runs.
We leave Compeau’s at 9:30 AM - Ride to Monderosa and have lunch. This should be a good year to ride, temps are suppose to be decent = 8 above to 4 below
Fresh snow is also in the forecast for the week, so I'm jazzed and ready for a great ride and lunch.
Paul and I will be leading and as long as the temps don't drop like they did to us last time (-22 when we turned back) I'll be a happy camper.
The trail down river is well marked, we will need to keep an eye open for the middle of the pack Iron Dog racers and be ready to move over and let them pass. But hey, these will be good photo opts
Lunch at the Monderosa is always good. So plan to make the trip Eat a great burger and feel bloated on the return trip ..

Gas on a normal sled should be OK. It's about 60 miles (give or take) to Nenana, we will stop for lunch first, usually, but don't have to, and gas up after we eat.
So figure you should be able to do about 65 miles. Of course this doesn't factor in playing long the way. ;) Trail should be excellent, so you won't burn up much gas unless you jump off into the powder a lot.

All racers for the Iron Dog made it in Saturday, so we won't hace any race traffic to deal with. Some of the racers coming in yesterday said there were some bumpy spots but they could have avoided them if not for the flat light condition yesterday, other than that trail was fast and good!
