CaniX UK are hoping to bring the European Championships to the UK in 2012 so need some top UK mountain bikers (and their dogs) to represent the UK at Bikejor.

That looks good! – but as per normal at work with dog on those dates. 😥

looks a recipe for disaster, falling over and being dragged along by your dogs…but hey if it didn't have a hint of risk, it wouldn't be fun..

Pity our dogs joints are all knackered.

looks a recipe for disaster

Can be! For Bikejor you need a dog who is a dependable front runner to avoid any spills. With CaniX (running on foot) it's not so important as it's much slower and you can stop quicker if your dog gets distracted (decides that chasing a squirrel up a tree is more fun than pulling your dead weight). CaniX is a good place to start to see if your dog is easily distracted and get some direction and squirrel avoidance commands in place.
