Ok, ok, I’ll make a new post. Moving to Bend, Oregon and home making.
I liked the previous post so much I though I’d leave it on forever, but after a few dozen hints I’ll move on.
Amber and I have been absolutely overwhelmed by congratulations and good wishes for far and wide. Thank you very, very much. And a special note to those poor ones who “were left in the dark” and had to “find out about our engagement on the internet.” Well, we were so swept up on the clouds of love, even Amber’s dad had to find out on the internet! – It took us a few days to get within Skype distance, and the Mars Bar wrapper engagement ring was already a faded tatter before I skyped my parents from France. Amber reasoned she’ll call her dad “later” and he “never goes online.” Apparently he does!
Sorry if we hurt anyones feelings, but unless I call you “Pa” or “Ma”, or in Ambers case “Mom”, you didnt get a call. But count yourselves as dear friends none the less.
The past month has been an absolute whirlwind. With a honeymoon flavour. After our week vacation/ practice honeymoon in France, (no training for a week!) we flew back to Reno, packed all our belongings in a truck and moved to Bend, Oregon. Packing has hectic, (esp on top of just starting training) but once we hit the road it was a great adventure.

XTERRA France 2008

What an experience. Very different from the usual XTERRA. Swam 3.5 laps (about 1.1km) in a small little lake at 1850m . (used to make snow in winter) There were 3 “Australiens” which in France, means getting out and running. Up a big embankment and down with a huge dive which took you almost to the 1st buoy.

In 1987 I was 13 years old my mom offered me half a road bike for my birthday. I had to come up with the other R400 (USD 50) I immediately became consumed by road cycling and it became a life long passion of mine.
