Join host, Robert Forto as he welcomes musher Riley Dyche to Mushing Radio. Dyche is signed up to run the 2018 Yukon Quest sled dog race and we get a chance to talk with him about the upcoming race season.
Bio:I started running dogs in 2010/11 during college in Colorado working for a winter tour operation there. I was captivated by the dogs desire to run and pull and the team dynamic among them when in harness. I moved to Alaska in the summer of 2013 to work for Alaska Icefield Expeditions where I met Matt Hall, that following winter I handled for Matt and helped him prepare for his rookie Quest run. After handling for Matt for a season I spent the following two winters handling for Ryne Olson and then Sven Haltmann before starting my own kennel during the summer of 2015.
On this episode we discuss:
- How Riley got started in mushing
- Tell us about your dogs?
- What races are you planning on running this winter?
- Tell us about the upcoming Yukon Quest
