Team Kaiser Begins the Bogus

There’s a holiday song that everyone knows that will be stuck in your head one I mention it, but here goes– BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE!! Surprisingly tolerable, the temperatures are in the -20 to -25 range, but the wind is manageable and it wasn’t too painful!

Nik, our handler from Norway hitched up the B team with the help of his pit crew, Ron Kaiser, Jenn Peeks, Doug Dorland, and Rick Hanson. This is is very first race and he was a bit nervous, but we are sure he will do fine. We all looked at him though, in what we thought was a bit flimsy gear, but it’s cold in his homeland as well and he was dressed for the trail when he left.

The group of 9 Teams took to the trail at 5:00pm sharp, with Nik leaving in 2nd position. The 15o mile race will make it’s way up to the Bogus Campsite and then back to Bethel for a Saturday morning finish.

Dress up warm and meet us down at the race shortly. Teams will leave the chute at 6:30 for the K300.

Here are Bogus 150 Start photos for Team Kaiser’s Nik Wikstrand.
