The Epic Dog Ride....

Today Marisa and I seem to have a little cold. Achew!! Well, White Dog (Ally), didn't seem to care and wanted to go out. Sooo, I figured I didn't want to just walk down the street with her, she's too fast and ansy... I'll see how well she can pull me on the bike! Not so much... But she was GREAT to ride with. She stayed right next to me and I basically didn't even know she was there. Never pulled on the leash really, just wanted to go for a trot. So we went to Ussery Rd. which has all the cool jumps and drops which is 2 miles down the road.


I didn't really feel like exerting that much effort so we just followed the trails. It has been raining so the ground was a bit muddy, White Dog did not care! If there was a puddle, she was going to walk through it and drink out of it. I didn't know how she would do out in the free world without a leash so we walked up the trail for a while and then I let her go... she was perfect! She would stay right with me and if I was riding and she wanted to smell something she would run and catch up afterward. Marisa better step up her game on the mountain biking or White Dog may take her place... just kidding. We went further than I have been on the Ussery trails all the way over some ridges (steep and muddy) to Bogus Basin Rd. About 2 or 3 miles of trail. Once White Dog lost the leash she was flying down the downhill sections right behind me. Awesome Dog!


We both took a short rest and after contemplating having Marisa come get us in her 4Runner, dirty White Dog and I decided we could do the 3.5 miles back at an easy pace. She only pulled me to try to eat some Quail and a scarecrow in someones yard on the way back. Uphills are not fun. We had a lot of fun and both went to sleep for a good nap afterward.



The End...
