Sorry to have to say this, but the trail at Larose is too icy for a race, and with the forecast, it’s not going to change by this Sunday. We are rescheduling to Sunday, December 8. Please let Jeff know if you are available to volunteer for the new date! On…
We have very minimal snow, so the eastern trails may not be usable. Also, with the icy conditions lots of people have not had enough training for 8 miles. I propose to offer a 5 mile course with 4 or 6 dogs on the western trails (unless we get a lot…
Although it looked good from Ottawa this afternoon, the forest got much more rain than the city today, and almost no snow. Best guess is that the trails might be “mushy but ok”, “hard and fast, though not ridiculously icy”, or possibly “crusty” for morning, depending on how cold it…
There were a couple of trucks down Moose trail that have made a big mess in the wet spots. Nick would love if we could go out and manually flatten it, so he can safely drive on it to groom. If some people could stick around after the Poker Run…

“Has any of your members lost a husky like dog? One is hanging around my property this morning; he has a collar & porcupine quills. – Diane” Please email info@mushlarose.ca for direct contact info for Diane.
There is still snow on the western trails, not ideal but workable. With the current temperature forecast short distance and smaller teams are a safer approach. I think we can still hold a 4 dog, 4 or 5 mile race on Sunday. The parking lot is currently mixed gravel/ice, so we would…
