Today we hit the road to the Copper Basin 300<\/a> \u2013 my first race of the season! The race is known for its cold temperatures, but the forecast says it is going to be relatively mild. (I\u2019ve packed my extra warm boots just in case they have it wrong.) It has been a number of years since I participated in the CB300 (a win in 1995) and I\u2019m looking forward to going back, seeing some friendly faces and having a good run with the team. Jason is going along with me as a handler for the race (he\u2019s packed his warm boots too) while Dave holds down the fort and continues to train his \u2018puppy team\u2019 for the Iditarod.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been keeping busy around the Homestead and thought that you may wonder what we do each day\u2026. this morning was semi-normal \u2013 but we took a few pics to share with you what we had going on before we left for the race. Check them out:<\/p>\n
