Bib Numbers

Well, now we know the bib numbers. Aliy Zirkle, Bib 17; Allen Moore, Bib 76; Sue Morgan, Bib 72; Trent Herbst, Bib 85; Karen Ramstead, Bib 19 and Molly Yazwinski, Bib 62.

As one friend said, I have a 'killer draw" in Fantasy Iditarod... having to choose five teams from the following ten: Lance Mackey, Martin Buser, Eric Rogers, Zack Steer, Jason Barron, Kjetil Backen, William Kleedehn (rookie), John Baker, Joe Runyan and Anne Capistrant. I've sent my five in and will wait until they are posted.

We have 3 SPK players so will wait to hear the other two . One of our players did get Aliy, but none got Allen.

Bib Numbers

The bib numbers drawn last night at the Musher Banquet are still a closely guarded 'secret', that is, I can't find them anywhere ! Guess everyone is still sleeping after the five hour banquet?

We set this up, hoping to be at Iditarod, as we usually are, but , at this moment we are going to hang out at home and add our folksy commentary to Iditarod 2008.

Teams we particularly follow are: Aliy Zirkle and Allen Moore; Trent Herbst; Sue Morgan;

Ed Stielstra. We are always interested in rookie teams and are watching Molly Yazwinski.
