First 20 MPH

First time topping 20 MPH skijoring for the 2019/2020 season - zoom!
Flying Rudy to the left with sprint-tucked Zorro & Jack on the right. Zoom!
We returned to French Gulch this morning. Yesterday's outing had just enough snow to go while being cautious about early season rocks and other obstacles. Well, it continued snowing on & off during the day and night and, as a result, French Gulch was perfect this morning. No caution needed and, as you see above, we were able to uncork the skijoring trio and top 20 MPH in October!!!!

We also found some great "shallow powder" far back in the gulch. Perfect conditions to kick up powder all around your body as you glide through the snow.
Kicking up powder around Zorro & Jack. Wheeee!
Today's short video clip: having a great time weaving up, down and through the forest as we glide through shallow powder for miles and miles. What a fun October outing!
[watch on youtube if no video loads below]

It is safe to say that Jack & Rudy thoroughly enjoyed their snow angels at our turnaround point on the trail. What a pair of goofballs!
"Aaaahhhh, just plain AAAAHHHH!" declares the snow rolling goofs.
"Sometimes I can't even watch! Kids these days!" adds Zorro in denial of his goofy little brothers.
What a beautiful skijor for late October, right Zorro?
"Yes! I had SO much fun!" cute Zorro tells me.
"We have the attention span of 1 & 2 year olds!" adds the distracted youngsters :)
A rare "3 days in a row skijoring in October" this morning: 5.4 miles traveled with 500 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 20 MPH. 4 in a row tomorrow? Maybe, check back and see...

2019/2020 Season to Date: 5 days on the trails covering 25.1 miles with 2600 feet of elevation climbed.
