I just found out about the World Cycling Race! This is essentially a Tour Divide style race around the world starting in London, England. Martin Walker is the first racer in the U.S. Thanks to Matthew Lee for letting me know. He will get the word out to other racers about the call-in number. We got in on this a little late but we’re hoping more racers will call in. Trackleaders is doing the tracking and you can click on the link above to see live tracking as well as the racer’s individual tracking by clicking on their name below.

Pete Basinger takes the 350 to McGrath on bike and Goeff Roes takes the 350 on foot! Congrats to both! No racers are going on to Nome this year. While sad, it has been a tough year for the racers this year. Get the details over at Alaska Ultrasport and on Facebook!
From Bill Merchant via the Alaska Ultrasport news page: “Peter Basinger wins the 350 mile McGrath race for the unprecedented 6th time. Congratulations Pete! I expect that qualifies you for the Iditarod Trail Hall of Fame. To win the mens foot division Geoff Roes edged out former race winner and 6 time Nome finisher Tim Hewitt right at the finish. Ausila Vistarini won the womens bike division and Anna Ver Hoef won the womens overall. Anne became our first foot person to win the overall women’s race to McGrath. Geoff and Tim gave the bikers Pete, Phil and Pavel a run for their money all the way to Rohn and were still hot on their heels by Nikolai. We had 18 racers who pushed on through conditions that had local freight haulers on snowmachines turning back to Skwentna because of blizzard conditions and deep snow. They pushed on through soft conditions nearly the entire way to finish in McGrath. Some even managed while battling the Rohn Plague. Congratulations to you all!”
