It's almost IRON DOG time! This is one of the busiest times of the year for us with lots of guys wrenching in the shop and training on the trails and frozen rivers. Todd and his partner are full speed ahead gearing up for the world’s longest and toughest snowmachine race traversing over 2,000 miles of frozen Alaska.This year we’re very excited that Todd’s SkiDoo team and three other teams riding SkiDoo are racing for a very worthy cause! They’re launching the “Bring Home the Pink” campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. All the money goes directly to help women in need. In fact, they’re working with Breast Cancer Focus, an Alaska-based organization run entirely by volunteers, in order to ensure that the donations go to fund efforts that will directly help women.
You can learn more about “Bring Home the Pink” and please make a pledge to support this great effort at: Breast Cancer Focus Alaska
The Iron Dog goes from February 16-22. Keep your eyes peeled for some rough and tumble manly men putting their testosterone to good use in efforts to support women! Kudos to the sponsors and supporters! By the way, notice the pink ski tips in this photo of the SkiDoo snowmachine. Nice touch, guys!
This is Todd’s 21st Iron Dog. He’s won it four times. I, naturally, am rooting for "the old guys" (as Todd humbly introduces this amazingly arduous race’s veterans), but I'm so enthused about every single racer with the guts to do this.
It'll be a blast again this year keeping you abreast, er... updated along the trail. I shall do so primarily from inside my warm and safe house.
"Bring Home the Pink!" Go Team #11!

It would be awesome to participate.
Best of luck to Todd!!!
Hell, that statement alone by Sarah could cause several PDSers here to have their blood pressure elevate by 300 points and stroke out...............Just saying :)
With all the messy weather up here, it’s gonna be messy.
Amen!
Such a beautiful family..Good Luck Todd!!!!!
LOLOL.
Isn’t she the very best?
*You betcha*!!!
Well, it’s a man’s sport!!
We’d love for Todd to win!
The Iron Dog is one of the toughest races..I am pulling for him to win but most importantly I want for him and his partner to be safe
Dearest, sweet you, of course, you’re right.
but I DO hope he kicks some major ass out there too :-)
Oh YEAH!
Do you race like that?
No, but I would love to one day. I think it would be challenging and fun.
Challenging = I’ll say!!
2000 miles? Sheesh, I probably couldn’t even make it 2 miles.
Ping to the TODD PALIN IS A HUNK! ping list. You have no idea how much I wish that man were our First Dude.
