Rec Path Fun

Cloudy day but great conditions!

Jack & Rudy starting off our skijor from Breckenridge to Frisco, via
the Blue River Recreation Path, with gusto. Wheeee!

Notice that bridge to the far right of the previous photo? Well, this pedestrian bridge always slows Jack & Rudy down as it is a bit rickety and makes more noise the faster you cross it. The result? Well, both automatically slow to a gentle trot to cross the bridge and then floor it once back on firm & stable ground. Come along for the video show as we start out very gently completing the bridge crossing and then take off once over. Smart & fun skijor partners!!!

As the prior photos imply, we skijored from Breckenridge to Frisco via the Blue River Recreation Path yesterday morning. This route provides so many opportunities for Jack & Rudy to "entertain the crowds" along the way. Such fun for the flirts :)

We often are parallel to Highway 9 and get to entertain the oncoming cars!

Zooming along as a group of oncoming cars gets to see the impressive sled dogs!

We even get close enough a few times for me to see the smiles & cameras/phones in the cars approaching us. I'd love to video this from the highway myself!!!

The closest the rec path gets to the highway - smiles in the cars and video
cameras out in all the passenger seats!

Along the way, we pass multiple intermediate trailheads for those who want to do less than the entire distance from Breckenridge to Frisco. Jack & Rudy have no need for intermediate points :)

"Pfft, who would start here? We wouldn't even break a sweat!" says Jack & Rudy
flying on by this silly intermediate trailhead :)

As I've shown in the past, once we enter the Frisco Adventure Park, it is time to fly on by the "distracting stables" - give the horses & mules a glance guys and then go on by!

Looking, but going! Good on by a very distracting stables!!!

Everybody gets 3 pieces of pork for 'end of run' treats. Retired Zorro's 3 are a fraction of the size of hard working Jack & Rudy's (kids need the calories, Z does not); but that's ok, he enjoys treats of any size. He we are in between treat number 1 & 2...

"Keep them coming!" says focused Zorro.
"Yum, that first one was DELICIOUS!" declares slurping Jack.
"Hi Mom! Yum, yum!" adds cute Rudy flashing Nancy a smile.

Another fun romp from Breck to Frisco: 8.7 miles traveled with 300 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 21 MPH.

2021/2022 Season to Date: 83 days on the trails covering 681.1 miles with 63,900 feet of elevation climbed.
