Mike Curiak has been trying to make it to Nome on the Iditarod trail without any outside support. Last year bad whether forced him back. He won’t go inside at any of the checkpoints or accept food or water. He’s not doing the Iditarod Trail Invitational but is riding at the same time.
He’s testing out his gear for something bigger. He won’t disclose what it is but some of guessed he’s planning to ride his bike across Greenland. Whatever he is planning there won’t be much chance of getting help if something goes wrong so he wants to make sure everything is well tested.
He is now in McGrath. According to the report on his blog today, he has a broken stove and his tent has failed. Not having a stove is a big problem for him since he needs to melt snow for drinking water. He’s trying to get replacements and head on to Nome.
