The Leaving Party

The Leaving Party

Party and the off

We're off again on our travels!!!
After months of thinking about it, formulating the plan, booking our flights and last minute packing we were in need of a farewell party with a fine mix of Tod harriers, Calderdale tri club members and West Mount Vets staff. The theme was Heros and Villains, creating a good opportunity to get the fancy dress box out. Mr and Mrs Incredible hosted the party with fine attendences from Dangermouse, Trinity, Bonnie and Clyde, Calamity Jane and Wyatt Earp (or was it Woody from Toy Story), Number 1, Santa, The one and only miniture hero and may more.
Two weeks since the party now and our Bikes and bags are packed. A marathon has been run and we are ready to go......

Hi All.
Here we are in Buenos Aires. Big city and all a little scary. Realising that our limited Spanish is not going to be enough so rapid learning curve required. Staying in a lovely hostel with a really helpful owner, Natalia, who has made us feel very welcome. Not really seen much of the city yet, just a wander around last night to find some food. Played it safe last night and went for a pizza, too tired to battle with ordering anything more complicated. About to head out to the Sunday markets in San Telmo. Then a bit of sorting to work out how to get out of buenos Aires with the bikes, planning probably to bus out of here as it seems suicidal to bike out of the city itself.
Really looking forward to being out on the bikes, away from the big city and noise, just quieter roads and our pedal power. Seems very very flat around here but I am sure that will change and just hoping for a tail wind!!!
