OnOn...

 

Nice one! Coke Dealer with hare Love Bug & Sophia

 

And another puddle to skirt around

 

More puddle fun

Spring flowers - Love Bug & Coke Dealer

 

Love Bug's scratched legs from when laying the trail

 

Another puddle hazard. Sophia thinks it may be more fun to go through it.

 

The runners continue on through the fabulous woodland

 

A little rocky obstacle is no problem

Flower power!

 

 

Love Bug has to wear the helmet for front-running her own trail

 

Guess who's made to wear the tiara? Visitor / mountain cyclist
Mr Squirell - who also has to answer the 4 questions.

 

Yes, there it is (almost hidden). He's being a good sport!

 

Clitoria proudly shows us a new tattoo
