Over hill and over dale...running, motorcycling, and travelling through life: from Cabo to Vancouver in 2014

This has been an amazing year in so many ways! I started out early in the year with a visit to Seattle and other parts of Washington, from there went to Cabo in the summer, and then in November, back to Seattle, Whidbey Island, and Vancouver. Beautiful views and great people all around!

I did more bicycle rides this year and for longer distances than ever before. I have become members of Team Roadkill, Team RWB, amd just recently Team Beef, the last of which will help to offset the price of entry fees for the events that I do. There was a waiting list for almost a year, but I finally made it. Woo hoo!!

Riding for tags (on adventure rider) and riding with my motorcycle group has been a blast as well. I have also ventured out on my own in search of murals and their history. There is both excitment and solitude on a ride, and I am a fan of both.

This year had been  even more interesting than most in that three former loves have come back into my life....all unannounced and out of the blue, and not one a total surprise. They all have similar memories of me, all of them flattering, and who doesn't like to know that they have made a lasting impression on another's heart? Two I thanked and politely explained that I had moved on and past them and wished them all good things. Ah, but the third? This man has long held the keys to my heart and is skilled at breaking down any barriers that may exist.....everything that was there is there still, and that's good enough for me.

Stay tuned for more changes in 2014!
