Congratulations Susie!!! Thomas sounds like a real good guy.
I remember you, AllezGirl and I heading out for our first ride together last year. You were talking about how hard it was to get out there and bike. How hard it was to get an LBS around there to take you seriously and help you get the correct kind of bike. You were struggling but never gave up. You were just looking for a few people who understood your goals and knew why you were putting yourself through all of that. It's no wonder you ended up at TE. We saw you blossom and get stronger in so many ways, not just physically. Everytime we got together, AG and I always commented that you looked better, you sounded better, your overall being was vibrant and powerful. Then you and Thomas found each other and you just radiated happiness.

May you both have a wonderful and long life together. I wish you all of the happiness in the world. Yes, I think a bike needs to be part of your wedding/honeymoon somewhere because without that component, you may never have ventured out far enough to find him or the happiness you have in your life right now. So, get that guy of yours out on that mtb (let him win sometimes, it will make him feel good ) and spread the love.

Congrats again,

~X.
