Bike Dogging to Victoria Falls

Went Bike Dogging again on Sunday. This time Sunshine came along. We ate lunch atthe Yum Cha place at Mount Victoria, then road down to Victoria Falls. Nice views and the dogs did well. I've since harnessed them up in line, rather then side by side, as Mistisa is clearly the lead dog, while Blackish does better as a second.

Bike Dogging

I dunno about you guys, but the price of petrol is killing me!
So I've put my 2 over active dogs to good use, and started training them in bike dogging.
Here they are after a 1 hour ride through the bush! I gotta say, it was bloody great!
Here's a look at my bike dog harness, collars (am about to buy body harnesses) clipped in to a Y, clipped to a rope passing through some irrigation pip (prevents leg tangle) then about 1.5 m to the bike head tube. Its very easy to control (so long as you're a pretty experienced trail rider). Even when they make a dash for another dog (something I hope they'll grow or train out of) If I keep a strong line, they get pulled quite quickly back into line.
Soon we'll do a bike dogger through the local town ;)

Sunshine's New Bike
Labels:

Sunshine picked up her new bike from the local shop today. A X hire bike, only 6 months old. Its in pretty good nick too!
We slept the night out at the end of Ridgewell Rd, and hopped on the bikes in the morning for a rideout to Hanging Rock/Anvel Rock.
It's a cruisy 3 km down to the lookout where you leave the bikes and stroll around some spectacular tracks. This is me not daring to jump across the gap.
The dogs came with us of course, they had no trouble keeping up but I don't think they could go that much further at the end of it all.
And it wasn't too bad riding back either!
