    wow, that's incredible. that couple sounds like a great inspiration. thank you for following along! it's been a great journey so far, we'll see how TdG24 goes! Sounds like you have lots of adevntures pretty close by, but you should try the Tor, or one of the many other races in VDA. I remember Javi having one of the best races of all time at that years Tor. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate it!
