Congratulations!!!

When's the date? Have you set one yet?

What a fun trail to ride and I have to admit I snickered at the "Honey that doesn't look like the best line". :D That would be me though, kissing the dirt, lol.

wow looks like a great trip.

Awwwwwww! Not what I was expecting at all!

Congratulations!

Thanks for the pics. I'll be up there next month!

Karen

Wow, congratulations on your engagement!

What a fantastic photo-essay of your wonderful adventure!

~Emily, who really can't get into mud, but admire those who do :D

Thanks, everyone! We haven't set a date yet. Just going to enjoy this for a while. But KT looks like a pretty enticing place to have a wedding!

congrats what a lovely surprise!

the honeymoon does involve biking, right?

YAY! Goosebumps! Congrats!

I think we'd go crazy if it didn't! Either some mountain/road biking in Hawaii or road riding in Tuscany or France sound perfect. We won't do a bike themed wedding, but the honeymoon would have to be more bike oriented for sure.

aw, congrats! great pictures too!

Best wishes to you!

I liked the photo essay and especially the ending. DH and I just rode up at KT ourselves few weeks ago. I could have done with way less mud, but it was still fun.

I love a good surprise ending! Wasn't expecting the last pic at all. Best wishes to you both.

Well, I was not expecting that!!!! Congrats. Best of luck to you.

Wow! Congratulations!
That looks like so much fun.
