So what a winter it was! Traveling all over, racing, enjoying life, snow, and the dogs. Couldn't have asked for anything better. I pretty much abandoned this website since my last post. The racing season finished up with an all time favorite dryland race in April - Troutfest! What a blast. It is a challenging, twisty, turny trail not for the faint of heart. I had a lot of fun with my cousin Emily who joined me on that adventure. She was a great help with the dogs. That race capped the racing season by earning us enough points to be awarded an ISDRA (International Sled Dog Racing Association) Gold Medal for 2 dog bikejoring! I couldn't believe it! Also at Troutfest, I visited with many friends including "the Canadians" (as I like to call them) one last time before saying goodbye until fall dryland starts. Well - here we are on the eve of dryland season. The dryland racing season kicks off in October, and it is fast approaching. My focus once again returns to mushing. It has been a great summer with gardening, fishing, and hanging out with the dogs (surviving the usual hot humid Wisconsin summer). I hope to keep up a little better with the blog this year - hopefully :)
Oh - and I am happy to announce a new member of Kandu Sled Dogs - Susi! Susi is Eli's sister (out of Nature's Kennel in the U.P.). What a great dog. She is so sweet loving - and darn fast. Looking forward to seeing all she can do this season!
