"Reach for The Sky and Take the Beer" more photos courtesy of Mike Simon

Race Start - No7 heads for the chute, ably assisted by Maren Bradley and Pierre Luc

Leaving Fish Lake Colin Morrison's veteran Leader Orion passes on some advice to his trainee "it's a good long pull now, but impress our Monkey and there'll be a treat a the top"

Colin Morrison reaches the top, whilst Orion looks back, thinking, "Whew! that was a climb, where's that drink then?"

No. 16 in full lope to the shoulder of Mt Mac, where Mike Simon and Lee Kirkpatrick were waiting with some Yukon Gold, and (unknown until the finish line), his third Queen card!!
So, at this speed, why did the team take over 5.5 hours, and scratch 3 km short of the finish?

The real reason No.16 took so long...Yukon Brewing's beveredges were so delicious, he just had to lie back and keep sampling and sampling, until he needed the volunteers to help push him along!!
