What's the Smurf been up to?
« on: July 09, 2009, 03:03:43 PM »
Well, I've been out of the Jeep scene for a year now, and I'd love to get another one (TJ), but I'm not sure if it's in the finacial plan at this time.

So, 2 years ago I lost my Dad...this April, I lost my Mom... That has consumed alot of my thoughts.

Being Jeepless for the last year has free'd up some time for me to enjoyed some of my other hobbies.

Did alot of DH and freeride mountain biking last summer. Haven't been out yet this year, but I plan to. :(

Competed in June in the Southern Alberta Bodybuilding Championships and took third place in the lightweight class. This is what helped me get through the loss of my Mom. Without it, I don't know how I would have made it through.

Anyway, just thought I'd share for those who wondered where I've been.

Smurf

Sorry to hear about your loss.  The loss of a loved one is always difficult.  My sister in-law passed away two years ago.

The first photo looks like the Bow Valley near Banff - is that the water tower below Two Jack Lake?

I've done some riding... recently rode the Telephone loop near Bragg Creek.  I haven't ridden the Big Elbow/Little Elbow loop for several years and would be interested in riding it again.  I also ride road bikes and would be interested in a road ride as well... we can celebrate the Tour de France!

depends which weekend. but id gladly join. ill be in vernon at silver star for the august long weekend. last week in august i have off and will be in golden and vernon... but of course plans can always shift around;)
id like to try that riders of rohan trail too. i did the elbow loop a few weeks ago with a bunch of guys from work. it wasa good trail, pretty long at 42kms. but fun:) not a freeride trail! lol!

And mine with you. Losing a parent is tough, but losing two so close is emotionally draining.

My Mom was very unhealthy (was very over weight, lost both legs to diabetes and smoking, survived cancer and 1 heart attack.), which is why I take my health so seriously.

She was a hell of a lady though...we were very close.
