Rest Day and a Tour of the New Place

Rest Day and a Tour of the New Place

HEYOOO! Well, I have indeed made it to Colorado and it is amazing! In my first 24 hours here, I have driven a brand new 4×4 pick up truck through the Buena Vista mountains, cruised through Denver in a 1970’s Charger and crashed two parties including the Transrockies crew party and a random rafters rave… Read More…

Trail Running Q&A

Good morning! I am a tad sleepy this morning but it doesn’t even matter. Last night, I went and saw Les Miserables which is my favourite musical of ALL TIME. I am a bit of a Francophile so seeing the show live made me lose my mind a little. (And also explains why this post… Read More…
