Raced the White Mountains 100 race (WM100) and placed 7th on bike this year, which is an improvement from last year. I included a full video below in the comments in case others are looking into this race next year.
The conditions were mostly -10F to -30F in the mountains with 13 MPH headwinds for half the race. The trails were blown over with 2 to 3 feet of snow which caused a lot of post holing for a good chunk of the race. This is probably one of the world's fastest 100 mile winter bike race around, seeing average speeds of 10 to 13 MPH across the route. While this year wasn't fast due to weather, most years are incredibly fast. You can expect about 8,000 feet (2,500 meters) of climbing across the route, so it's not entirely fast an easy.
This is a short documentation of the White Mountains 100 bike (ski or run) race in Fairbanks Alaska. Few people have recorded this race online, so I thought this would be helpful for those exploring it in their future.

Dayum, good on you!! That is quite an accomplishment. What did you ride??
That way, I won’t get one and try any of that crazy sheet. 🤣
Congrats man, heard the conditions were just as brutal as the photos you posted look.
