Puppies in the Hills

Today's post is unrelated to cycling, though it does provide insight into my intensive cross-training program.  I took our dogs Honey and Teddi on a nice hike in the hills above town.  They had a great time exploring and helped me find my way home- been awhile since I was up here.  You couldn't ask for better fitness companions.

The girls donned their ruggedized mountaineering gear for this expedition
