Mix

Great morning to get out on the trails before the crowds! Right guys?

"I'm giddy with excitement & pleasure!" exclaims giddy Rudy.
"Great indeed, but what a silly younger brother (Rudy)!" adds cool Jack.

We did our usual "mix of trails" this morning near Gold Run Nordic Center. The location of the nordic center is such that we can do a few laps around the backcountry on more technical trails before eventually dropping onto the easy & fast trails of the nordic center. A really fun mix for all of us :)

Zipping along in the backcountry on well packed trails with
plenty of side powder (my) safety!

Today's video highlight is the fun you see in the photo above. Come along as we cruising at a very high speed along one of our favorite backcountry trails. Wheeee!

As I said, we eventually drop out of the forest and onto the groomie zoomie nordic trails. Today's "groom result"? Well, the GPS clocked us at a top speed of 25 MPH. Zoom!

Zooming on the groomie zoomie!

Finally, the usual highlight of the outing meeting up with retired mentor Zorro for 'end of run' treats!

"Ready!" declares always focused Zorro.
"Whee - we'll be off in the side powder until our turn!" adds silly Jack & Rudy.

Great day with my super fun skijor partners: 8.2 miles traveled with 800 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 25 MPH.
