It’s a Brand New Year and A Brand New Start

Well January is half over so you can only imagine that I’ve been completely swamped since I’m just getting out the my happy new post.

If you didn’t already know.. we moved to Eugene, OR. Had to leave Tehachapi.. that place was killing us, monetarily(? is this a word), mentally and physically. We’ve been here almost 2 months and moved to a place knowing not a single soul.. we love Eugene! Carrie has started up with a workout group called Eugene CrossFit. I myself have been getting out and running 3 days a week.. plus I ride my bike most places I need to go not mention finally being able to hit some single track. It feels great to be getting back into shape.

The Mountain Biking Scene Here Rocks

This has really made my year.. finally being able to get out in the woods again on my bike. Above all other things… rafting, hiking, rock climbing & snowboarding…. I missed mountain biking the most. As it turns out we moved to the right place. Eugene has some awesome mountain biking all around… theres some single track less than 3 miles from our house.

I hooked up with a mtn bike group called DOD (Disciples of Dirt – and no its not a religious group). These guys have been building their own secret trail network for some 15 years or something like that… its called WhyPass. It definitely is a secret little stash off on BLM land south of Eugene… these trails are not on any map or guidebook. Google directions to whypass.. you won’t find them… you have to obtain them through one of the disciples.

Business & Networking

Being that I do freelance web design and search engine marketing… and all my clients are virtual… business just kept on going through the move to Eugene. I just took a few days off of work and then right back at it. Even better than that is I’m already plugging in to the business community here by joining a Meet Up Group as well as trying to make some connections via Linked In.
