In Training

There were lots of people out and about on the Taylor River tracks this morning. They were runners, mountain bikers, dog-walkers and of course dogs.
This little family of humans and dogs caught my eye. The husband and wife are busy training on their mountain bikes. They are planning to bike the Greymouth to Hokitika Bike trail on the West Coast. They are taking their dogs with them on this trek. In order to ensure the dogs’ safety on sections where they must ride on highways they have this little trailer attached to one of the bikes.
I usually see small children in this type of trailer which is popular with very active (younger) parents. So it was very entertaining to see the dogs, Murphy on the left and Lilly wearing the pink collar on the right jumping into the trailer and settling down for the ride.
