And they're off. I took the lead pretty easly, but the bikers passed me on the ice road. I passed them back as soon as we hit the trail though.

Runners. No thank you, I use my skis thanks.

More racers. Racers in the 100 mile race used sleds and big packs to haul all their gear. We only needed to have water with us.
