Update on travel plans

Talked to Lou Serre last nite and he tells us 2/3 of his racing trail in good and that they are supposed to get 5 inches of new snow tonite and so the race should be on.. Our plan is to leave on Wed, stop in Sault Ste. Marie and pick up the Gatt sled that we ordered and head over to the North Bay, Ontario area (Markstay, to be specific) for the race Sat. hoping that we don't run into the cold weather.

I did some Cris training yesterday behind the snowmobile (too icy on the trail to run the dogs) so we hooked up the sled to the snowmobile and went from our house down to the Benton Lake training trail (about 10 miles total) so icy!!!!!!!! only fell 3 times - it was different/harder than riding behind the dogs and I never knew when Randy was going to slow down for sure (the dogs never slow down) so most of my problem was going around the corners - regardless it brought back a little of my dogsledding confidence!!!
