And so it begins…

Well, I’m here! And apparently I can blog from here too – you lucky, lucky people 😉

 But you know what?  I’m not going to.  Not every day.  I may pop by.  But I’ll write it up properly when I get home.  I’m making notes and taking photos and everything.  But this is supposed to be a holiday as well as work, and I need one of those so…you’ll have to forgive me if I spend some time out appreciating that element of it too 😉

But just so as you know, today we did an easy flat spin out ride to the beach.  In short sleeves and shorts with pasty skin exposed to the unfamiliar sun. The novelty was joyous 🙂  It was maybe a little too easy going for me – we’re a mixed bunch still finding our level(s) – but that’s probably no bad thing.  Always good to feel like you could do better, rather than knowing you can’t.  Mind you,  I’m still hankering after mountains…and yes, that’s still weird 😉
