Considering we had just braved ice canoeing on the mighty St. Lawrence River, dog sledding for the first time at Quebec City Winter Carnival was a cinch. With the heavy guy on the seat of the sled and Audrey taking command at the back, we were off to races as we zoomed over ice and snow. From a distance, it doesn't appear that the dogs are running too fast; however, once you're on the sleigh yourself it is a whole other story. The speed and stamina of the dogs was particularly impressive. At one point they stopped for no apparent reason and the other dog sleigh passed us. The most challenging aspect was trying not to tip over during tight corners; luckily for us, we managed to complete the circuit without wiping out ;) Before we knew it we had completed our first dog sled adventure. I'd definitely be up for trying it again - especially in a more open space next time.
