The Beginning of a Great Adventure

Tomorrow, Heather and I set off on our biggest trip yet. We are taking our motorcycles and are heading to Richmond, Kentucky for three nights and will not be home until Monday. Richmond will be the site of VROC's biggest rally this, the Here To Kingdom Come rally. This year's gathering will also serve as a yearly tribute to Rick "Wolfman" Jakubas, one of VROC's founding members. 2009 will mark the third year of what is now known as Wolfman's Wandering Rally.

We are both very excited but also nervous as this will be our first out of province motorcycle trip, not to mention out of country. This will be definitely a very eye opening experience.

But before all that, we still had a practice to run today. Heather and I are both coaching a girls' team that plays in the house league of the Waterloo Minor Soccer Club. The team plays in the under-17 division. Our season runs from May to July with a season ending tournament in August. The coaching experience has been very fun and rewarding so far and I'm sure it will continue this way as the season progresses.

Here is a shot of most of our team (13 of 17 girls) during the picture day that followed today's practice. In the back row are: Nicky, Kaylyn, Rebecca, Yasmin, Alyssa and Stephanie, while the front row consists of: Amy, Brittany, Elana, Natalie, Olivia, Flora and Amanda. As you can see, our team doesn't have a goalie as the only one we had is out for pretty much the rest of the season with a broken wrist. Oh well, can't win them all.
