Woo

Zorro had a blast sprinting and towing me around the fast trails yesterday morning!
"Yes indeed! I am having FUN!!!!" exclaims happy Zorro during a short pause on the trails.
We started on fast & narrow trails sprinting for a couple of miles...
Zooming behind sprinting Zorro on this fun & narrow trail with a high snow wall to
our left and great views in front of us.
After sprinting the narrow trails, we transitioned onto the wide and freshly groomed trails of Gold Run Nordic Center. We were thrilled to be first or second tracks on the fresh groomie zoomies for the entire outing. Zorro was FLYING!!!
See - Zorro was FLYING!!!! :)
Today's video highlight showcases fast Zorro on the groomie zoomie as we top 24 MPH somewhere along this stretch. Watch closely at about 22 seconds into the video. There is a slight dip in the trail which caused me to dip and "catch air" since we are going so fast. You'll then hear me utter a "Woo!" of relief after coming back under control as I am happy to still be upright. The "dip and catch air" is very subtle looking in the video; but, oh boy, did it feel wild in real life!!!

Done sprinting with Zorro and we hooked up little Jack for a short wind sprint to end the day. Jack got the most out of his wind sprint and needed to cool off rolling snow angels :)
"Oh boy, must roll and cool my jets!" declares silly puppy Jack.
"Me too, must eat snow to cool my 24 MPH jets!" says snowcone eating Zorro.

A ridiculously fast & fun day on newly groomed trails: 7.8 miles traveled with 500 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 24 MPH.

2017/2018 Season to Date: 34 days on the trails covering 249.1 miles with 22,100 feet of elevation climbed.
