If you like dogs, you gotta do this!! You will be amazed at the enthusiasm of the 16 dog team. From the moment they are hooked to the sled these dogs are ready to run. When our musher (Meredith) yelled "ready" these dogs wanted to pull more than a starving man wants a cheeseburger. By the way, Meredith competed in, and completed, the 2018 Iditarod so she knows her stuff. I got to admit I feared the sled ride might be a little cheesy, but my friend did this a couple years ago and recommended it, so we gave it a shot. Obviously, I'm super glad we did. You get to meet, pet and play with the same dogs that run the 1000+ mile race. We even got to hold 2 week old puppies who in two or three years are destined for greatness.
If you are not familiar with the Iditarod race or the Seavy tradition, I suggest you Google it. It will help put what you see in perspective, and enhance the IdidaRide experience.
