Whelp,
I did the ultimate roof rack no no.
I ran our bikes into one of those poles that shows you your cars clearance.
Ooops!
We were taking my Mother-in-law to the airport to fly home, and so I was in full airport mode. For any of you who fly a lot, you know what I am talking about.
It did’nt brake the bikes, just the rack. It ripped the bikes out of the rack, but they did’nt fall off the car. I was pretty impressed that the racks did’nt get really messed up. They pretty much released the bikes, which was a very very good thing.
I have always hesitated with roof racks for just that reason. So if you have a roof rack, just do’nt forget.
If your worried about it, just get Yakima. They release!
Well, I hope your all going very good today, and your all well!!! I just wanted to share my little blooper with you all, because it’s just too………funny, and stupid!
Hopefully my experience will keep you reminded!
RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!

Today is my birthday
It’s been a good day! We have been driving all day, but we have had fun
We stopped in a town called Colorado City today. We have heard soo much crazy stuff about that place that we decided to check it out for ourselfs. Well, the rumors are true, except for one thing. The people are nice.
If you don’t know what I am talking about, I’m sorry. You’ll have to seek it out. It’s just a group of people who believe in something that I just can’t give the ok too, but they are still people who need to be shown kindness.
We tried to stop at the four corners, but it was closed, so now we are going through Durango and then home. We will celebrate my birthday tomorrow.
I actually wanted to take this time today, and celebrate you all! I’m serious! I want to thank all of you for your ecouragement! I hope you all know how much your encouragement helps those who you give it to. Sometimes, our dreams can be overwhelming, but when God sends someone to encourage you along the way, it reminds you of why you chose to follow your dreams.
My dream is to help people, so THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!
Well, that’s all I really wanted to say today, but I thought I would share a couple of the places we went to on the way home from the Sea Otter. So thanks for checking in!
Have an Awesome Weekend!!!
RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!
HANNAH LEIGH HANNAH
I am officially Mrs Hannah Hannah!
I know this is may be a Huge surprise, but it has been planned for a while. Mick and I were married on March 25 at 4 p.m. in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was absolutely Beautiful! I want to give credit to the Lord, for making it such a perfect day!!! It was amazing!!!
Our wedding was held in a huge courtyard outside of a really nice Club House, and we had a really good live band that everyone loved dancing to. It was Amazing!!! A dream come true.
I will have pictures posted hopefully soon. You might be able to go to cameracourage.com to check out some photos. Josh was there taking some really good photos. (UPDATE: The pics are at the bottom of this post and in my picture gallery)
We are still on our honeymoon though! It’s been quite fun! We spent 3 days at a Hyatt resort in New Mexico, and now we are on our way to California to train before the Sea Otter Classic! Hopefully we will see some of you there!
We ended up having to go back through Colorado Springs to get our new house all sorted out. So now, we have a place to call home.
Then we went to see Micks mom Hellen who was staying with some of our best friends (the Bangarts). They live in Twin Lakes, CO.
Mick and I were planning to leave for California on Friday after we hung out with everyone, but when we got to the Bangarts house, and they showed us some footage of them riding there snowmobiles. We both looked at each other with these huge grins, and decided to stay an extra day for some sled neck fun!
It was soo Awesome!!! Fresh powder, the sound of reving engines, and to top it off, my awesome Husband along with me!
Mr. Bangart took us to a spot called the whale back which is this really cool natural jump. We all aired off that lip for a while and got used to what if feels like to jump a snowmobile. It is deffinently different. I was also learning how to do correct powder turns on a snowmobile, and due to my lack of body weight, I got ripped off my sled a lot, and managed to smack my face on the handle bars a few times. Thankfully my full face took all the impact. It was pretty funny!
At the end of the day, we were playing on some cornice’s in a high avalanche area, which just adds to the true excitement. Mick’s sled had been acting up a little bit through out the day, and right when we were getting ready to head back, he was heading up to launch this cornice, when all of a sudden his sled just quit trying. He got to the top of the cornice, and his machine started to roll. He bailed, and just kept doing these super man leaps to get away from the giant maching rolling towards him. Mr. Bangart and I just sat and looked at each other when it was over, and we had a little chuckle to ourselfs. It made for a great exit!
Well, you would have thought the fun would have stopped there. Not so!
After coming down this rediculously steep mt., we decided for one last little adventure up a back road. Not long into this little trip, I began to smell something not right coming from one of the machines.
I was following Mick when he just sopped in the middle of the trail looking at his machine. I knew something was wrong. So I stopped right next to him, when he all of a sudden bailed off his machine yelling at me to get away. That’s when I saw the flames leaping out of his machines engine. It was soo crazy!
Then almost as soon as I stopped, Michael jumped on my machine to go catch up to Mr. Bangart, and tell him what happened.
After about 15 minuites of dumping snow on the fried engine, we all had a good laugh about the whole crazyness of the day! It was good times!
Mick and I had to ride my sled back together, but Mick drove, and that was probably the most excitement of the day! He about dumped me off a few times! Ha ha ha! It was soo much fun!!!
When we got back to the house, I just casually walked in to tell the moms that one of the machines just blew up! It was awesome to see there facial reactions. But they ended up laughing a lot about the whole situation!
While we were out riding, Helen and Mrs Bangart got together, and decorated the room Michael and I were staying in. It was no longer a guest room, but now it was a honey moon suite! It was soo COOL!!! They did a really Great job!!!
Michael and I both agreed that this day was the most Romantic and fun day of our honeymoon so far! But we have a whole lifetime together to make more romantic fun days! So keep checking in for more fun and excitement brought to you by the Hannah’s!
We look forward to sharing our experiences with you!
Thanks for checking in with us Everyone!!! Have an Awesome Day!!!
RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!
