The Honeymoon

And no there won't be any of the "good pictures" on the blog. I took video of it....and put it on youtube. So there.

After getting Married on May 7th, the burrower and I went back to her home town of Galesburg to do a quick opening of gifts and re-pack the car. After arranging everything to our liking in the vehicle we took off around 3 central. Then felt disheartened as we changed the clock to 4 right away and seems we had lost an hour. We ended up driving just past Indianapolis before stopping for the night. We completed the journey back to Charlotte and got home at 7 on Monday. Our flight for the Bahamas left at 7 am on Tuesday. Talk about a quick turn around.

When we got to the Bahamas at Sandals, our resort for the week, we were greeted by a glass of champange for both of us. Way to take the edge off, right before noon. While they were getting our room ready we were taken to a buffet and started eating...and it didn't stop the entire time we were there. I will just take the easy way out and say that all we did we drink, eat, drink, sun, volleyball, drink, eat.


The burrower choosing her drink of choice for the night.



I disconnected the call, they were charging me like 4.99 a minute to call.

The closest I got to a bike was the water bicycle.



Turns out, they can get flats just like land bicycles.



We had to be towed back to shore


Which basically brings us back to the present time. Or within 2 weeks. I might not have time to discuss my previous 2 Summer Series races, but due to all the eating and drinking and not riding I have been doing, theres really not much to say. On the other hand this weekend is Memorial day and you should know what that means. The Burn24. My first 24 hour mountain bike race, and I am choosing to do it solo. I will probably spend the next 2 days getting everything together. Food, camping supplies, ammunition, possibly bike and biking clothes, but not sure if going to have enough time.

I'm Back!

Well, just physically, mentally I am still on vacation in the Bahamas.

That is me and the new Mrs. Burrower in front of the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas.

All the wedding planning finally paid off as we got married on May 7. I need to everybody who reads this that fact, so they can remind me next year to get her a gift or something like that.

We left the Queen city of Charlotte the Saturday before and headed up to her hometown of G-burg. Due to my history of mountain biking and getting hurt, bringing the Culprit was out of the question. (BTW, I am going on chronological order of the past 3 weeks, and if I run out of things to talk about I will just show pictures of me in a bikini).

Mountain biking is hard to come by in parts of Illinois.

Nothing but corn. The town also did have a bike route, but it crossed the train tracks.....twice.



But along with a boring road ride through corn and train tracks there was also planning and getting ready for the wedding that was happening in a few days from our arrival.

Me and the burrower getting together the party favors/guest table numbers for the big day. Enjoy the pictures, theres still about a week more of them to come. Oh, and send your condolences to the burrower for agreeing to go through with the wedding.
