A big part of people's curiosity about this race is the gear we are using. So below is a list of the major items we have been using/testing so far.
We may change a few things around before the race - but this is where it stands now.
Of course, if you want to buy something please consider one of our friends - or going through our Amazon link. This
race really ate away at our 2010 budget so if you're going to get it anyway we'd appreciate the bump. Thanks!
[UPDATE: 02-09-2010]
Our drop bags need to be sent out in a few days, so we're going to be preparing these soon.
I'm going to start adding in the some of the food we plan on packing. We'll need to consume
at least 300 calories per hour - that's about as much as a person can assimilate. However we'll be
burning 700+ each hour... so we'll probably end up loosing a little weight on this trip.
My tricked out Pug, fresh from Billy's lab at Arctic Cycles.
Notice the holes drilled out on the rims to reduce weight.
