One Year Ago Today ...
 

One year ago today, on August 24, 2008, Rowan and I got up early, rode a century (100 miles) in the Canadian Rockies near Jasper ....... and then got married on a dock over Lake Annette. :)

So tell me more about the Century Ride? J/K
Happy Anniversary
BTW what is the gift for year one? (Answer: Paper but I think you can substitute with rubber tires)

congrats.

The century was great! Gorgeous mountain scenery and all. :D

How about substituting cleats ... Rowan picked up new cleats the other day. But actually we're celebrating by spending 3 weeks travelling around Tasmania, and because we've spent most of our first year of marriage on the opposite sides of the world, it kind of feels like a honeymoon. :)

BTW - we met here on BF back in 2003.

Congrats and happy anniv.

I love those photos!
Congratulations! With everything you've been through over that year - the both of you as much as any couple are more than deserving of a lifetime of happiness together.

Awesome. Congrats. There must be a cycling related anniversary gift or event?

Congrats! Happy anniversary!

Congrats. Doing another Century to celebrate?

Congratulations!

Deserves got nuthin to do with it....BUT BE HAPPY ANYWAY!

Happy anniversary.

Congratulations you two! :beer:

that's you? you're such an amazing century pounder :)

awesome. what a memorable way to get married.

Thanks! Yes, it's been quite a year with most of it spent apart on the opposite sides of the world going through all sorts of challenges.



No ... unfortunately I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks just recently with DVT. I haven't cycled in a long time but am gradually building up my strength. The Warfarin (drug to prevent clot formation), however, is taking its toll on me.



That's me!! :) I'd eventually like to get back into it all again.

Did your bikes get married too?

Happy Anniversary Machka and Rowan! May the road be scenic and the miles many.

That is awesome. Congratulations. Very cool photos. Thanks for sharing them.

very nice. but a century before the wedding? that is hardcore. i just lapse into a post ride coma after a century.

Best wishes for your continued happiness!

Well we've both done a few of them, so we're used to that sort of distance. :D
