Reifenstuhl Wins Iditabike

Dirtworld.com, a site which specializes in new on the mountian biking scene, is reporting that Rocky Reifenstuhl has one the 2006 Iditabike. He completed the 350 mile race, held between Knick and McGrath Alaska, in 4 days and 7 hours. Oh, and in temperatures reaching -40 degrees F.

I wrote about the Iditarod several weeks back when the classic dog sled race was going on, but fewer people know about the Iditabike, whic has been setting the standard for grueling mountain bike races for a number of years now.
