YES! And I'd love to take her on a little west coast adventuring!

Maidei is with me and we are both spending way too much time at home, not riding our bikes. Apologies for falling off the face of the earth and not even sending a postcard!
I will pass Maidei off to bluejellybean within the next two weeks and she can pursue further adventures!

Maidei ends her Vancouver tour (pics included)
So Maidei has been hanging out with me for a few weeks. Unfortunately I was not riding very much, but she managed to come with me on a couple of trips. We had good times at home, too.
My husband was in a cycling race up a local big hill, Cypress Mountain. I drove ahead of the pack to meet him at the top (where he finished a nice 7th, just behind a few pros and his nemesis on hills... a chocolatier - not kidding), but stopped along the way to take a couple of shots of the nice views. I did not have my SLR unfortunately, so the shallow depth of field does not do justice to the scenery. The first pic shows Vancouver's downtown in the background, while the second features the Strait of Georgia, with Vancouver Island (where Maidei is headed next) in the distance.
Then yesterday I took her with me as I joined my club in a ride to Porpoise Bay Provincial Park, on the Sunshine Coast. Although it's technically on the mainland, one must take a ferry to get there. Maidei took a bit of sun on the upper deck, and then again at the Porpoise Bay sandy beach.
But really, Maidei has been spending a lot of time at home with me. I received her from ShootingStar as I was in the throes of my pregnancy's first trimester fatigue, and had to pause my riding season. So she hung out with me in a big fat chair, reading some appropriate literature.
She is now headed to visit BlueJellyBean, thanks to Canada Post!
Who will be next?

Congrats. Grog and Chris! Hope everything all works out.
And was that chocolatier..Thomas Haas?
Only because dearie and I love going to his place for gourmet cake slice and coffee. He has the cycling jerseys on for sale with his store logo emblazoned across. He is a fit guy and surrounded by goodies in his daily job/operations.

Is Maidei embarking a different journey at your end, bluejellybean? Last weekend did look a bit wet.

Arrghh, I just took some pics on my phone from a nice muddy,rainy mtn bike ride through some trails, and the sun came out by the end showing our nice, lush greenery and juicy trails...and I just deleted them! I moved them to the memory card but they're not there...will try to recover them, but not holding out much hope. In the meantime, this is our cyclocross organizer from yesterday's record number of participants race!

Ok, take 2! Not that I had to twist my own arm to go out on the trails again. Sorry for the poooor quality phone pics, it doesn't do justice to our green west coast!
Hopefully these show up in order:
1. On the way!
2. Through puddles...
3. And uprooted trees and mud...
4. Uphill through big trees...
5. And done.
I think by the end of this weekend I should have a few more pics than will probably be done with my turn with Maidei. October looks like it's going to be a busier month than I figured! Who's up next? She looooves to travel and ride!2011 Specialized Ruby Comp, Specialized BG Lithia w/ hollow Cr-Mo rails

This is yesterday on the bridge two minutes from home after a long road ride. Cool, crisp, sunny Fall day...lovin' it!
So, I think this might be one of (if not the) last pic of my adventures with Maidei...she's looking for a new adopter to take her on!
