The allure of wrecks
[]
It's the only reason that I can come up with for why luge has been shown on the motor sports cable channel. It's also the fun (sometimes, anyway) part of mushing sports. I came across this post on the Down East Sleddog Club message board today: Saturday I attempted my first try at bikejoring and had no idea that going for a 2 mile jaunt in the woods would trash the bike I had. The handle bar is bent, the chain fell off and rendered the back tire useless and the bike is just in plain rough shape now. I had no idea that I'd be going that fast with one dog and a bike! Anyway, I was wondering what type of bike I should get if I want to bikejor on fairly rough trails? Since the chain fell off the bike I used, I wasn't sure if there was anything in particular I should be aware of when buying a new bike... Although it's still not as good as the first-time skijorer who didn't know what he was doing and instead of getting a belt tied a rope around his waste. When he leaned forward the rope was pulled up under his armpits and he was pulled face-first down the for some distance by his dog, who saw the trail in front of him and understood exactly what his job was. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Of the $65 million given out for Bush's "faith-based" charities, not one penny has gone directly to Jewish or Muslim groups |

around his waste. When he leaned forward the rope was pulled up under his armpits and he was pulled face-first down the for some distance by his dog, Well, his waist wasn't really wasted then, was it, Melinda? Though he may have been. Never even _heard of bikejoring, and I know a couple of people who would be interested. I'll do a little search, but do you know of an article or such which would whet their appetites? |

Probably the canonical place to start is at Skijor Now: http://www.skijornow.com/bikejor.html . I only know of one race in the US, and it's pretty casual, at the New England Sleddog Expo every year. They also have a casual canicross race. Canicross is huge in Europe but nearly unheard of in North America. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Of the $65 million given out for Bush's "faith-based" charities, not one penny has gone directly to Jewish or Muslim groups |
