So the bike isn't BRAND new to me anymore...but I've been promising photos - so here they are.  Last weekend was Drew and I's last weekend home together until the end of July (seriously!) and so we did something we haven't done a lot of this year....we rode together.  Just the two of us and our mountain bikes out for a great 3.5 hour ride.  We had the perfect day, covered some beautiful terrain and amazing trails, and reminded ourselves of why we live on the island and spend hours every year on the ferry - it just doesn't get much better than this....

This weekend we head off on our first ferry adventure of the year (in our brand new Ford Escape!) to Pemberton for the Nimby 50 - a race that kicked my arse last year, and will probably repeat that this year, home for Saturday night, and then up to Parksville for Hammerfest XC on Sunday - just because one XC race in a weekend wasn't hard enough on the bodies!
