Rde for the Fallen
There are truly no words to express how I feel after this weekend. Joy, Sorrow, Excited, Teary, Happy, Sad.... This weekend I felt it all.. and this weekend I stood tall as a CAV member, proud to be apart of such an incredible family of riders.Brothers and Sisters all united to be supportive for our Silver Cross Families..
I took 2736 Pictures of this weekends events..
I had the privilege of meeting and being a shoulder to lean on for some of our silver cross families, and I feel I am truly blessed to have been part of it!
There are just no words.. no words at all..
We now have a Highway of Heroes, because of our Brothers of Ubique, but especially the hard work of Brother Brutus! Who is an amazing man, with a heart of gold.. and it is such a privilege to know him!
I have looked threw the many pics I have taken and will be posting a few up on the blog soon, as well as the link to the server where I have places a few..

RIde for the Fallen
I am sooo excited about this weekend's ride..
We will have a Highway of Heroes in BC, and I'm so proud that CAV will be a hug part of this momentum occasion. Brother Brutus from Ubique 3rd CAV has truly out done himself, and it will be such an honor to see and ride with him and fellow CAV members again!
Since I will be taking pictures, Apple Blossom is home, SIGH - and parked very nicely. It's kinda hard to ride ones' bike and take pictures of such an amazing event.. I don't want to miss a thing!!!!!

Flat Tire on the bike
I know now what happens on a bike when you get a flat tire.. and let me tell you.. it's an experience I don't particularly want to go threw again anytime soon.
The feeling of your back tire going flat creates this intense sound.. I honestly thought that it was my engine, then the back started to wobble all over the place.. I was able to get the bike and myself safely to the side of the road... Once I calmed my nerves.. I called work, and the guys were so awesome.. I fellow co-worker named Chris, hooked up the race car trailer and came and picked up. My bike got the royal treatment..Once back at the work, Chris was awesome, he removed the tire from the bike, and another co-worker suggested I called Peninsula Tire out here in Sidney.. They don't normally do motorcycle tires, but was so amazing enough to fix mine.. SO THREE CHEERS to Peninsula Tires and Brakes out here in Sidney!!!!! Fantastic guys for fixing a girls bike tire!!
Then another THUMBS up to Chris for putting my back tire back on.. which allowed me to ride back home..
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little more paranoid now, and listening even more so to all the sounds that the bike makes. But I am truly grateful to everyone that helped me on Monday.. and that I did not have to experience a ride in an ambulance and made it home safely...
and what was in my tire, a Philips SCREW!!!!!

Ride to Live
Last Sunday, a group of us joined the Ride to Live - the funds raised went to Prostate Cancer research. Prostate Cancer is what took my father away from this world so this event was very close and personal.
The bikes lining up at Steve Dranes Harley Store.. to get the event going
Our third stop was at the Casino In Colwood
Waldo, me and Omlette
I want to Thank Mily, Omlette, Waldo, Fergie, Tazzy, Fuzzy, Hawaii, and Dave for being such a fantastic group to ride with. But most of all I want to thank Mily, for being a shoulder to shed my tears on, and for her incredible support in everything that I do!

How Adele was named
I have been asked how did I chose the name of my little one, was she named after the singer.. and I thought well now is a good time to explain.
When I was 16, I had a teacher named Remi Maisonneuve. He was our computer teacher, he was the one that allowed me to explore and test out computer programs in high school, aka the beginnings of Photoshop, and a hand held scanner. He always encouraged me to test and look outside the box.
He had three kids, Sarah, Joel and Adele. I used to babysit the kids as well, and always loved the name Adele from the moment I heard it.
Time moved on, and graduation, then I moved away from the area, but I always made a point to say hi to Remi, when I would go home, and tell him of where my computer knowledge that he first started was taking me.
Discovering that I was pregnant then realizing I was to have a little girl, many names came flooding to my brain. Angelina, Isabella, but none seemed right.. then one night as my little person rolled in my belly, the name Adele came racing to my brain.
I never had the chance to tell Remi, that my daughter was actually named after his, as he and his family moved away, but perhaps one day I will get to tell him... how one person can influence even years later!
