Homeward Bound
To disable ads, please log-in.
After three years its time for us to head home. To allow us time to pay our bill before we leave we are getting our phone and internet disconnected on Tuesday so this will probably be my last post for awhile. Im not sure how long I will be offline but I think it will be at least a few months.
I wanted to thank all the American TE girls for sharing your wonderful country with us. We have seen and experienced so many beautiful things and met so many people that have enriched our lives it will be hard to leave.
To the Norcal girls who have shared some laughs and great rides with me I will miss you all terribly. Lets hope I can lure you all down under sometime.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Year and keep safe.
THThe most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Have a safe trip Trekhawk (Pardon my ignorance, but where is "home"? I know I've been told, but for some reason, I have a hard time remembering the details of everyone's lives...) Post as soon as you are "connected" again or maybe an update from a cyber cafe??

Oh, I'm going to miss you! Who else is going to get to the top of a hill and declare something like, "That was really awful, wasn't it?".
Have a safe and uneventful trip back, and hope your Xmas wishes come true.
And start planning that AV Australia ride for 2009!

Hi Leslie, I'm sorry you have to leave, but I know it's your home. I'm glad we got to meet at W2W. Hope your children haven't forgotten how to speak "Australian". Ride your C-50 proudly downunder and remember us!!

Road Trip !!!
Lee & I are both going to miss you something fierce, Leslie.
I really hope we can manage to visit you someday soon - before we're too old & decrepit to go out for a ride.
But 'til then, I hope you keep in touch.
And I hope you get to ride your Colnago a lot more.
Take care, mate.

Safe journeys Trekhawk! And have fun riding with CC. So if you're leaving NorCal, and heading DownUnder, will this be a year without winter?
