After I returned home from the Olympics all I wanted to do
was take a couple of weeks off to relax.
This would not be the case I would be running around for another month
and not fully sleeping each night for another month and a half.
A week after I returned was Dayna’s 30th
Birthday. I had planned a BBQ at our
house along with a scavenger hunt.
The following weekend I was off to Edmonton for an
event. While in the city of Championship
we stopped off at Rexall place to visit Wayne.

If that wasn’t enough we held National championships on
Labour day weekend in Abbotsford, our Provincial finals and lastly our World
Cup event in Abbotsford in Mid-September.
Not exactly down time.
With all our events done for the year, I still had plenty of office work and season wrap up to do. However, I was able to slow down a bit and take a few days off here and there. We started cleaning up our back yard. I removed the swings and play set to make room for the future pump track. Then we started clearing the trees and brambles along our back fence. We took down 3 trees that were close to 30ft tall and a 40ft holly tree. Then we moved on to clearing the brambles and digging out all the stumps, about 8 in total. We borrowed a trailer from a friend and filled it twice with greenery. Once the area was cleared and tilled, we moved 3 bushes from beside our driveway to along the back fence. We finished our gardening by clearing up our front gardens, replanting the rose bushes and planting a bunch of bulbs. Can’t wait to see what it will look like in the spring.
Somewhere in this time I got Dayna a new bike.
I also started the pump track that is going in along the side of our backyard.
Before we were finish we planted a Tulip tree in our front yard to mark our first year in our house.
With the cooling weather I added a carpet to our living room to warm up the place.

Canadian Cycling was having a celebration for all the Olympic athletes and coaches. I was able to coming home a week early to visit my family. I played 3 rounds golf with my brothers in 4 days.
While it was sad to she Oma pass, I was happy to be there to see her before and to see all my family though-out the week.
Sometime in the Summer Meagan and CC, created a sign for the bridge I made in field at Copetown.
It was great to see everyone and have some down time.
I left Toronto for Olds, AB to build an indoor track for Alberta. It was cold.
Our house for Halloween.
Lastly, I am once again participating in Movember. Here is the link to my Mo-page if you would like to donate.
