Anyone on here ever do this w you Dutchie? If so, let me know what you think. I saw an ad for the scooters that they use. It looks like it would be a good time. Seems like it would be a great way to tire out a wired DS and would eliminate the running component for me when I'm lazy...which is often lately.

I’m guessing it’s the same as Idirod but on grass.

ok, I looked it up. its when you tie your dog to your bike. Nope, no way would I tie anything to my bike. I mountain bike and Thalie used to go with me all of the time and she was fine loose. She would go ahead and never go too far ahead. I never lost her, or I should say, she never lost me. We would be out all day.

Or is this urban mushing when Rogue bolts off and I’m at the back end of her leash?
