It’s bobsled time!
Today, we took a trip to Sigulda and experienced their Olympic bobsled run. Now you could opt for the dinky padded sled on rails and go down that way, or you can choose to pay a little extra and go for the real thing in a real sled with a professional driver. Needless to say, adrenaline junkie that I am, I went for the real deal.
Oh my. What FUN! What a rush!! Whirring down the course, covering 1km in 48 seconds… that’s AVERAGING about 75 km/hour! As you whip around the corners, you can literally feel your spine compressing under the gravitational forces. The video may look to be in fast forward, but I assure you, it is real time. WOOOOOOOOOO WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…. so much fun!!!
