Cadence Cycle + First Mate Extreme Freight Pull RECORD turnout

37 teams signed up at Drag N Fly Kennel for the Cadence Cycle Hot Hounds. A cool evening breeze made fro good low temperatures for the dogs, and the gravel/hard earth trail caused no major injuries (although Jenet Keller looked like she was about to be cut in half when Tutshi faked haw and then gee'd at the last moment leaving Jon Lucas scootering relatively fast on the other side with the line stretched across Janet's path....it all worked out well though).

In the First Mate Freight Pull, newcomer Ibex pulled the cart for Gaetan Pierrard and earned himself second place and $90 of dog food in the lightweights, whilst Zoya pulled to victory earning Janet Keller $135 of dog food. Many thanks to Bombproof Ooutdoor Gear for the freightpull trolley.

Go Zoya!

Tippy pulled the cart to second place for Amil Dupuis Rossi in the Mediumweights

"Tippy, this way, leave Jim's vegetables alone"

Whilst Asha returned to take the mediumweights for the third year

"This is so much shorter than those Skijors he takes me on!"
