Running on snow in the Yukon !!

Hi everyone Welcome to the blog site of Ben and Rachel Kinvig. Rachel is pronounced Rachelle. French spelling. We are going to try and blog away for this racing season. I have tried to get Ben and Rachel to keep a diary but no luck . I thought this would be a good way for them to keep track of their racing season.
Ben and Rachel are a brother sister racing team. I am Darren their father and Leanne is their mother. We are a family effort in the sport.
Ben and Rachel are currently training 24 dogs and have 6 puppies to add to next season. NEW additions to the family are Gypsy, Anna, and Kelly. These dogs are from the kennel of Arleigh Reynolds in Salcha Alaska. Thanks alot to Arleigh for the dogs!! They are fitting in great to the teams!
Ben and Rachel are running 4 teams of 6 right now. Yes we have snow but barely any that is the reason for the small teams. Ben and Rachel are on sleds now for two weeks. They are preparing for Ft.Nelson and Taylor B.C. The main races will be Junior Worlds and Junior North American championships in Alaska. That is if the fuel kiddy doesn't dry up before hand.
Ben and Rachel have numerous sponsors to keep them racing. We also have many friends that help out whenever possible. Today 4 teams will be trained 6 miles each. A fairly big day for Ben and Rachel but they have had bigger ones. Good luck training tomorrow.
