I’m racing a stellar team in the Two Rivers Dog Mushers Association’s Valley Funale 20 mile, 10 dog race this morning.
The Funale is a fun community event put on by the TRDMA that includes mushing races for adults, kids and an easter egg hunt.
Would you believe I get to run Quito, Chica, Nacho, Olivia, Pud, Rambler, Scout, Mismo, Felix and Chemo? Holy smokes!
Remember that these dogs are mid and LONG distance racers not sprint racers so my goals are to get the dogs home safely, have fun and improve on my placing from last year (I won the red lantern in this race last year).
I’ll get some photos up once we get home.

Go Moira – you really do have an all-star team. I hope you have a blast! Hope some of the more laid-back semi-retired leaders make a showing in the kids races. Best of luck to Jacob and Sammy if they are part of the kids line-up. Sounds like a really fun day for everyone. Enjoy!
Go, Moira and great dogs!
Go Moira. Have fun and enjoy the dogs leading you to the finish line. Hope everyone has a fun packed day!
Wow!!!
What a thrill to run this team of champs!!! And future champs!!!
So long as there is snow to catch the brake you should be fine!!!
And the dogs all love you, so they won't try to dump you out of the sled!!!
Have fun, best regards,
Magaret
What a blast!
All right Moira! Have lots of fun! You are in great company with that super stellar team!
Take photos!!!
Come on now don't you let down the Two River Kiwi contingent of which currently is only you. For now lol. Yep my dreams are big ones.
With Quito in lead and that team, they will get to run you, more like.
.. and I say what a lucky lady you are, but I know you must have earned the privilege and luck has nothing to do with it.
Moira,
What an honor, the royal team…
Quito, Chica, Nacho, Olivia, Pud, Rambler, Scout, Mismo, Felix and Chemo…
YOU deserve it,
their all star caliber dog log rep!
Have fun and make it back with no injuries, including Moira 🙂
Yeah Moira, You've got an awesome team taking you down the trail. Have fun!

Have a blast! !!! It's a beautiful day
You Moira are the most deserving person EVER to run this race!! Not only is your Team "stellar" as you describe…but you my friend have been our "touch stone"….our cyber connection to SPK…..and this end of the season opportunity for you in my mind is as exciting as the Yukon Quest or Iditarod!! You are the best Moira…SPK wouldn't be the same without YOU!
can I be ballast?? I have experience 😉
have a great time!!
Yay for Rambler! We are thrilled to hear he helped Moira run a great race. Its so fun to get these updates.
