Bikejoring: Back in the Game!

 So during the last run I took a pretty big spill which ended with Titan dragging the bike down a ravine.  Titan and I were fine but the bike wasn't, the brakes were completely busted and some of the other components got a little mangled.  We weren't able to do much running until I can procure a new bike, we would have to settle for long hikes instead (which are fun in a different way).  So for the past month and a half I would scour Craiglists in hopes of finding a good bike within my meager price range, while jealously following the mushing adventures others were having with their pups. Finally I found it, a used 2003 Gary Fisher Tassajara in excellent condition and at a fraction of it's original price.

Took the bike for it's maiden bikejor run today, decided to go on a short, familiar loop since it has also been some time since Titan ran.  The bike was incredible, though I do want to change the (original) seat out for something more comfortable.  Titan was a little distracted, but he'll start getting into the swing of things once we get a routine going. 

After the run, and switching Titan to hsi hiking harness, the hubby and I took all of the pups for a short walk.  It has been some time since they've been to this park so they all really enjoyed exploring the plethora of smells left under the leaves.  Even though it was chilly, we still had a fun time.



Below is the video from the run, I felt the song is quite fitting for this occasion.
