John Stamstad has
won his fifth consecutive Iditabike Extreme race, some five and a half
hours ahead of his nearest rival. Close friend of BIKEmagic, Pat Norwill
placed third, ten hours behind Stamstad.
Iditabike Extreme is 350miles self-supported trek across wilderness in
frozen Alaska. Temperatures drop regularly to -40C and the race motto
is enough to put off the uninitiated – “Cowards won’t show and the
weak will die!”

The UKs only entrant
(that we know of) multi-time Iditabike starter David Barker-Milne scratched
at Rohn. Better luck next time.
