IMO, there’s more info on the Group page - locals reporting from the trail towns & along the route, etc. Ask to join (it’s public) & you’ll be added:

I’ve got 3 tabs up - Iron Dog Group, GPS for the Pro Class & GPS for the Trail Class! I had 4 tabs up when the start was live-streaming (& the Daytona 500 on TV to see Trump - it’s now in weather delay). The Iron Dog Org FB (your link) is posting to the Group page, too.
One of my fave teams, father/daughter Larry & Dani Levine (#29) barely made it out of sight of the start line & Dani’s machine seized up. Bummer - hope they can get back out there.
Morgan/Olds, last year’s winners are making up ground after starting 6th.
Two Rec/Trail Class teams (77,63) that did the Kotzebue loop are doing well - I think they’re going to try a run all the way to Nome today. The other two Rec Class teams (71,68) skipped the loop & are just about to Nome - one of them ran into a log covered by snow & was rear-ended with that rider going over the handlebars for a “hard off”. The report was “stiff/sore” but nothing worse than that. With sled damage & the spill, they skipped the loop, went from Koyuk to White Mtn & spent the night - took their time getting on the trail today.
I had just seen that about #29. Best of luck to them. :)
First Team into Tanana.
Are all the machines 4 strokes do you know? Or mixed 2 and 4? What, no Tesla in those temps?
