Northern California - Back From my European Trip (including TdF) Report

:thumb: Congratulations Marco and Ruth! Our first BF marriage! Yay!

Great pics, and a huge congradulations to both of you. :thumb: There was never a doubt in my mind that you too would tie the knot. Such a cute couple.

Great looking pictures and a big Congratulations on your engagement!:D

How did you propose to her? While descending ADH?:D;)

I bet he did it while he was fixing the flat. What the heck, he was already on his knees :D.

Congratulations to you two!

Congratulations to the two of you. After seeing these photos I have to bring a folding bike along if I ever get to spend a few weeks overseas.

There, fixed it! :D

Maybe the tire blowout was planned. He could have hidden it in the inner tube and, while he was on bended knee pretending to fix the so-called "blowout", pulled it out of the mangled rubber and presented it to her :D.

Haha. no it was on the hillside in Tuscany, overlooking Florence. We rode AdH as an engaged couple ;)

I wouldn't put it past him to plan something devious like that!

We will have a wedding BF ride complete with Champagne water bottles ;)

And.. the gladiators can have a bachelor party BF ride complete with R&R podium girls :eek:

j/k... ;)

Probably wouldn't take long for a diamond flying around inside a tire to cause a "so-called blowout" :)

¡Felicidades a vosotros! Although I was waiting for Marco to propose to me :(

¿Vosotros?

Are you from Spain or something BigMig?

;)

Seriously, thank you for the congrats.... FYI: You were next on my list.

¡Estudié en España, cabrón! Thanks for thinking of me. :D I was all set to leave the wife and kids.

Estudié en escuela, y me dijeron que "vosotros" sólo es usado en España. Eso está bien, lo me gusta la español de España mejor.

Stick with the wife and kids, you're too tall for me Miguel. ;)

Congratulations. You couldn't score more points with that proposal. :thumb:

Looks like an A+ vacation to boot. Excellente Pics!

Congratulations :)

Congrats! Very well-planned.

Yeah we had Eurail passes for Italy & France. I made all the reservations in advance for the trains that I could make them for.

I made an excel spreadsheet with all the train numbers, times (dep/arr), and the city/name of the hotel.

I did all of the planning beforehand as far as trains and hotels. So all I had to do was enjoy my vacation, and figure out where we wanted to go for fun from our list of places to see (that I also made beforehand), and planned out each day over breakfast :D

So I knew when I needed to be at the station, and planned around that. Worked out great!

Congratulations! :thumb:

Now the question is how are you going to top that for your wedding? :)

Wow, what a trip! And most of all, congratulations! :beer:

Now the question is how are you going to top that for your wedding? :)BIKES ON THE MOOOOOOON!

Is this going to be an all lycra wedding?
