- Miron Golfman recently won Iditarod Trail Invitational race, a 1000 mile fat bike race that starts in Knik and ends in Nome, AK. This year he experienced brutal conditions with whiteout conditions, multiple days in -50 degree temps, and miles of walking his bike when there was not a packed trail. In this video, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of all the gear he brought and utilized throughout the race. What worked, what didn't, and everything in between.
