Yes it's been a while, and there has been good reason for it. The last couple of weeks have been spent packing the house ready for us to move into our new abode just South of Swindon. We're pretty much packed and are looking forward to assistance during Friday's move from our parents.
Anyway, the fact that we've got the house packed is a bit of a miracle given that we've both been working and have had busy weekends for the last few weeks. A couple of weeks ago we headed up to Chapel En Le Frith to celebrate Lou's 30th birthday with a bunch of friends. We went biking in the Peaks in the afternoon, scaling the infamouse Jacob's Ladder climb before enjoying an endless rocky descent back to the party (not before riding through a lake - see vid below). The party then included a significant amount of blind champagne tasting, the highlight of which being when Neil mistook the Asti for the Bollinger Grand Annee!
This weekend just gone Jen and I took part in our favourite 24hour race, Mountain Mayhem. We also managed to rope in Nich and Liz, who both loved the event despite the significantly bad weather conditions. The best thing about the weekend was that one of our pals, Catherine Chappell finished a stunning 5th in the female solo category after riding none stop for the 24hours! She's our hero.
Finally, once the house is up and running we're hoping to launch our wedding website (yes I'm a geek and this sort of thing is obligatory these days) soon afterwards. More soon!
