Step 1.

Tammy and I have been very focused on getting ourselves more financially stable for the last 6months. We came up with a 3 step plan and on Friday we got confirmation that step 1 will be complete officially by this time next week. There were several components to the first step each relying on the other. We had set a goal of at least 1 step by November or there would be trouble. To say the least we are very relieved and finally feel like there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Of course the current world market hasn't helped the situation but after this step we should be able to relax a bit. I hope everyone else is doing OK.

Our friends Tamara and Chad have moved into their new place in 'Oak Bay'. They worked really hard to get the deal and hopefully it all works out. I do not envy the move but for those of you who don't know Victoria, Oak Bay is the desirable place to live. Kinda like UBC area. Way to go guys, can't wait to see it.

Winter training has begun and the weather has been perfect. Mild, but foggy 11 deg C. No wind.
This is not what we have had most Novembers but we will take it.
We should be posting a bit more now that we can stop holding our breath and gritting our teeth waiting for the re financing.

I love the west coast forest and we are surrounded by it here. My rides this weekend went through areas like this and with the added low-level cloud cover, it was out of this world. I was riding alone through this and could have ridden all day.
