I thought that was pretty cool to make that connection and I think we both could agree that it was an amazing experience - not just the ride, but the whole weekend vibe. I'm sure we'll meet in person sometime in the future because I intend to be riding in JDRF rides for a long time to come. Gotta love serendipity at work.
It totally KILLS me that we were just yards away from one-another for much of the weekend and didn't even make the TE connection...d'oh!

I've ridden with limewave several times. We first met during a women's road ride a couple of Summers ago. Somehow we made the realization that we knew one-another from TE. Now we've done some mountain biking together, too. She's also done mtn bike training and racing with my DH (and they have pretty much identical levels of ability).
