Knocked on doors today for JKT, Mary, and the lot. Most people dont come to the door. Hardly anyone says who they support. Fewer still will talk with you. But when people did ask for info, it was awesome. I got the opportunity to tell them why I support the candidates I'm volunteering for.

Massive win in my book. Some guy told me about the history of the pipeline and another dude gave me some Mallomars.

I’ve lived in Alaska for three years and have been fatbiking in the same amount of time. I’ve completed the Tanana River Challenge 25 & 50 milers, and want to sign up for the WM100 and Susitna 100.

Obviously there’s no gear requirements for the WM100, but there’s “the list” for the Su. Thankfully I’m able to borrow someone’s -20F sleeping bag and I only need to obtain a few small items to appease the requirements. But it got me wondering what brands/setups other Alaska folks carry on their bikes?

I’m particularly interested to see what people bring for the 3,000-calorie food carry required by the Su and the weight/space considerations given to said food.

What brand sleeping bags, pads, headlamps and blinking lights, water reservoirs, etc are you carrying? Do you go with a seat bag or rear rack? Do you bring dry layers to change into mid-race? (I’m a very sweaty human and this will be crucial for me).

Interested in your whole setup :) cheers.
