Fat biking the Iditarod Trail Invitational (ITI) race in Alaska. Humbling and breathtaking.

[@BrendanHills]

Nice video mate! I'm the guy with frostbite who you saw warming my hands in a bowl of water at Yentna Roadhouse. I did get a flight out of there, and now all my fingers seem pretty much recovered. I'm glad you made it and had a great time out on the trail. 👍

[@RidgeRiderz]

Alan my man so fun to travel with you and relive our shared adventure in your videos. Thanks for taking the time to document your ride and share it with us all. Pedal POWder and Bless UP!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Dude! Can’t wait to watch your dot on the 1000! Get it!!

[@TheKjlongtine]

Well done! It's amazing how warm 10 degree (F) and no wind can feel so warm after enduring some of that extreme cold you dealt with early on. Your prep was spot on.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Yeah, everything is relative :) thanks for watching!! 🙏🙏

[@stevegrabowski2746]

What an amazing life memory you experienced! Congratulations on fulfilling a dream of yours! And as always, thank you for sharing it with us followers. You're an inspiration, Alan!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks!! 🙏 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment :)

[@michaelwolf8781]

Epic ride. I see Northern lights from my Living room window. I bought a Salsa Mukluk CXT. It’s your fault. Lol. It’s a lot of fun. 👍

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Haha! Thanks one special living room window!!! Ride on :)

[@gerard7829]

Congratulations on an amazing feat!! Getting prepped for what is only my 2nd bikepacking race and you’re an inspiration

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

Looking forward to watching this Alan, I've just entered FatViking in Norway so looking for advice.

[@NikZechel]

Thanks for taking the time to record this while on the move. Winter filming is tricky in the cold. Congrats on getting out there and making this happen for yourself !

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching :)

[@SnowroxKT]

I'm in Anchorage if you ever need anything, recently found the channel, I love it!! I really appreciate all of the fat bike specific content you provide. I just bought a fatbike and upgraded my mountain bike, and my family has been following suit. Happy trails!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Right on, thanks for watching🤙 should have more fatty content this Winter :)

[@chuckbeattyo]

This video was so good, when I took a break from it to look out the window, here, I was shocked not to see snow!

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

😂😂 thanks for your kind words :)

[@BretSchnitzer]

Where are you bro? We miss your videos.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Haha, not much time for KZbin hobby when I gotta feed the fam :) thanks for your kind words !

[@HunterTravels]

Duuuudddde, incredible journey…..this visual ride gave me happiness I was smiling the whole time watching and was so peaceful. You look like you where in a new natural high. The ice beard was classic! Glad to able to catch this masterpiece on film.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks, Holmes!!

[@PumpkinVillage]

What an awesome achievement and the video was outstanding. Scenery galore. Glad it all worked out. What's your next adventure? Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@ColoradoFamilyof5]

Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure! I could not stop smiling at how amazing that must feel to be in the moment. I will never get a chance to experience this as I have a blood circulation issue that the cold would be to much. However your video is like I was there with you. 😊

[@SHWELL11]

I'd love to do this, but the puddle jumper part kills that idea.. I lived in Fairbanks for 4 years in the late 90's and wanted to experience an Iditarod race of any kind.. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@DirtyTeethMTB]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@BrianMeadAlaska]

[@bucketosudz]

Hearty Congratulations on the finish Alan! It was a delight to see you before you embarked on this grand adventure and Alaska like always, never disappoints despite the variable weather it dishes out. Lady Aurora offered us all a special showing and I'm grateful that you all were able to enjoy it to some extent or the other. Thank you for the mention, it was fun to meet you and I'm glad I played a smidgen of part in your ITI experience. May the rest of 2023 offer you and yours many for memorable moments! 3 Cheers for the bike community.

Outstanding performance. My experience of something in 5 hours was to do 35km in the summer to North Cape of Norway. The wind was storm force 8 to 10 so 90+Kph ( 120kph maybe gusts ) and to breath you had to lie down o top of your bike in a ditch.
