2013's most impressive bikepacking performance?

[hikernks]

My vote is split between Billy Rice's yo-yo and Mike Hall's TD run.   I'll also throw in a nomination for all who got a triple-crown.  I know Eric Foster was one, not sure of the others.  That's a pretty good feat.

Where can I read that?  Peeps gotta post write ups to these amazing adventures!

Mike Halls TD run for me, but Aidan Harding's Highland Trail Race ride with a 31 hour final stint was pretty impressive too.

@Scott M got a link to the 2014 calendar I can't find it now. Lost the link posted on FB by Nathan. As to rides Billy's Yoyo ride was hugely impressive due to distance and days in the saddle, considering some severe mechanical issues.

Billy Koitzch's ride is number one in my opinion. He rode the complete Iditarod trail to Nome, then continued on for another 1000 miles past Fairbanks. He did something completely unprecedented in extreme conditions. I wish there were more info on it online. I'm sure he'll eventually get it out there, he's already done a couple of live presentations on the ride.

Jay's 'close' win in the ITI 350 would get my second vote. Really impressive effort at the front of that race, and Jay made the right tactical decisions to take the win and the record. Best conditions I'm sure, but also probably the strongest field since fat bikes came about.
