2008 Yukon Quest Coverage :: Day 2 :: Feb. 10




The race is on [.mp3]
Mushers have tackled the first 100 miles of the Yukon Quest, but they're skipping the next section. Because of rough trail conditions, dogs were loaded up into trucks last night and driven past 40 miles of trail to the 101 dog drop. Mushers have a mandatory 15 hour break before resuming racing.
