Fast Day

It was a fast day flying around the wide trails at Gold Run Nordic Center this morning!

How fast? Well, the GPS clocked us topping 24 MPH along the way
this morning. Zoom!

Now come along for the video view into a fast & fun day. It is in the second half of this clip where I felt an extra tug on the gangline as Jack & Rudy kicked it into overdrive and surpassed 24 MPH. Zoom!

It was not just that one stretch of trail in the video, though; it was flooring it from the fast kids all morning long. They were really into a speed groove!

Zipping up a slight rise in the trail as I glide along behind!

It was also a beautiful bluebird morning and a nice warmup from the recent super cold spell we have been in. So, why not catch some air zipping along the wonderful sun covered trail?

The hover huskies, Jack & Rudy, doing their thing. Wheeee!

I paused at one point to check our time out on the trails. Well, I paused, so Jack went into his usual "stop, drop and roll" routine. Rudy, on the other hand, decided it was time to get a little higher off trail to sing loud for all to hear. He has been on a really talkative run the last week or so :)

"Ah, stop, drop & roll!" goes snow angel rolling Jack.
"Up on a perch, singing loud for all to hear!" adds harmonious Rudy :)

Zoom, zoom, zooming all morning long; what a way to earn tasty end of run treats!

"Ready!" exclaims the happy, happy kids.

As I said, a zippy fun day: 8.7 miles traveled with 700 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 24 MPH.

2024/2025 Season to Date: 42 days on the trails covering 307.5 miles with 28,200 feet of elevation climbed.
