Running the Grade

The grade was nicely groomed this morning, early, so in spite of our 'never run grade on a weekend', we took Ashley's 6 dog race team to Florence and back. (6 miles). Only minor hitch was coming out the gate, when a snowmo touring family stopped, interested in the dogs, as a car was coming and we were trying to get off the road onto the grade. Ashley handled that well and the rest of the run was easy. Where were those dire windchills you all told me about?
