Woo, Whee

Zipping along in a "mimi groomer track" with my fast pals Jack & Rudy. Wheeee!

Flying along in a mini groomer track.

After yesterday's "moose following skijor", we gave older Zorro most of today off to rest from the super fun and tiring moose day :)

I took Jack & Rudy out to the freshly groomed trails in and around Gold Run Nordic Center. We started as you see above on narrow "mini groomer" trails until we eventually dropped onto the fast, wide and FRESHLY groomed trails of the nordic center. My pals were in speed mode all day long. The GPS clocked us at 22 MPH for a top speed, but it sure felt like we went faster than that! Once we transitioned from narrow to wide trails, Jack & Rudy sure made full use of the wideness!

You can't get much further apart than this. Making full use of the wide trail.
8 feet all off the ground too!

The trails were so fast & fun that I was getting giddy too. When you hang out with a pair of 2 year olds, I guess it is contagious :) Come along as we are FLYING along the fast trails. Turn up your volume and you'll hear me shouting out "woos" and "whees" and "wows" as we ZIP along.

Oh those 2 year olds. We were rounding a corner when both jumped far off trail into the deep snow. I was expecting them to come up with some animal (or animal part), yet they came up empty. But something sure got their attention to leap this far off trail!

Dunk & Hunt. We smell fresh frozen meat :)

Then, coming around another bend in the trail and look what we found - MOOSE PRINTS! Jack & Rudy each have their nose in a moose print while you can see another in between them. We didn't see any moose, but these prints sure smelled good :)

"Sniff, sniff - tasty!" say the moose sniffing pair.

Finally, after a fast & furious day with the kids, we hooked up with Zorro for a happy glide to the finish with our favorite old man :)

"Whee - so happy!" says the super trio.

A fast, "woo, whee, wow" day with the kids and a fun finish with Zorro: 8.1 miles traveled with 500 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 22 MPH.

2019/2020 Season to Date: 95 days on the trails covering 648.8 miles with 59,850 feet of elevation climbed.
