Most people don't realize that 10 years ago I lost over 100lbs. I come from an over-weight family and now love to hear people tell me how lucky I am that I have a high metabolism and am only fast because of my genetics. They should come to my family reunion! or come out on a training ride with me:)

About me: My wife Kristin and I own the Holitna River Lodge (www.holitnariverlodge.com) in Alaska where we spend our summers running the lodge. I spend my winters near my family, friends, and modern plumbing in Pennsylvania. After spending much of the past decade racing some of the fastest riders in the world, I am now dedicating the rest of my career to the Iditarod Invitational, a human powered winter race on the Iditarod trail in Alaska.
I need to raise $5,000 to return for the 2010 Iditarod:
$800 entry fee
$1500 time off work
$700 8 day hotel stay
$400 luggage fees
$30 taxi/transportation fees
$150 bike maintenance at race
$350 cash for checkpoint food($50 each)
$100 drop box shipment
$200 airfare McGrath to Anchorage
$800 roundtrip PHI-ANC airfare
$200-$800 also needed: overbag, stove, food/meals
Anyone able to help me out in anyway would be greatly appreciated and if you supply me with a patch I will proudly sew it onto my race bags.
