We spoke to son Peter on the phone tonight.
At the end of the week he travels from
Moab, Utah to Anchorage, Alaska to race, once again, on the Iditarod Trail. He will bike from Knik to McGrath, through the Alaska Range. The race begins Sunday Feb 26 at 2pm.
A few years ago Mark Devries flew Jim and I over the trail to McGrath, a village of 400. where
Peter was teaching high school. This is a photo I took from the plane - looking down on the
Iditarod Trail.
The latest news on the race website says it was MINUS 50 in McGrath and snow is coming. Peter had spinal fusion on his back two years ago. He raced and won many times before the surgery. We will follow the race here
-50 IN MCGRATH THIS MORNING, WEATHER CHANGE COMING 3-8 INCHES PREDICTED IN ALASKA RANGE
