Libby Riddles wins 1985 Iditarod

in a clip from CBS News coverage of the Iditarod (Hosted by Terry Bradshaw), we follow Libby Riddles as she leaves Unalakleet in first place and makes the tough decision to head into a storm. This decision helps her become the first woman to ever win the Iditarod

Listened to Libby's presentation aboard the grand princess this month from vancover i was extremely impressed and more so when also given that award for the care of her dogs i thank you for opening my eyes to this wonderful event in your corner of the world

That's funny, because my parents and I boarded Regal Princess 12 years ago in the summer. She retired 11 years ago from the fleet of Princess cruise ships. We saw Libby Riddles on TV, but we didn't listen to her presentation like you said.

"Move over Rick, here comes Libby!" Love it!

I heard about Libby Riddles on a 10 day cruise that I took with my parents for their 25th Anniversary which occurred in the summer of 2006. It's been 12 years since we experienced a site like the famous musher in the world. Thumbs up if you went on a 10 day cruise to Alaska and Canada.

Really?

I don't believe you!!

@@livinkawasaki I don't have a reason to doubt it. But dog racing is dog racing. I don't mean to undersell the achievement of what your aunt did for women everywhere. And her skill and knowledge as a musher. But Im dedicating the rest of my life to getting that dumb race banned.
