Thanks ladies ... I am pretty excited.

Yes, loads of racing in BC and Alberta. I have done the TransRockies a few times (when I lived in Ontario) and have always wanted to try the Test of Metal ... some day.

I hear Issaquau is the place to live for trails. We are looking for a place close to the area - it is nice to be able to ride from your door - a few miles on the pavement just helps you warm up.

Thank you for the links. I am looking forward to the move. Those of you in the area will likely hear more from me when we have settled in!
