Homeward Bound
Thursday, September 11th, 2008Nothing like the feeling of coming home to BC after a trip. A new Xavier Rudd song is titled Home, it’s a beautiful peice of music which I’m sure to listen to a few times on the flight home, have a listen!
My short visit to England was quite productive and enjoyable. I was travelling with Chris Hennessey, the International Sales Coordinator for Norco Bikes, and he is opening up an account with a new distributor, Fisher, in St. Albans. The Fisher crew is a great bunch, I think they will do a fantastic job spreading the Norco brand through the country. Chris gave a great product knowledge presentation to some of the key shops and sales reps, and the reception was positive. If you haven’t had a chance to check out Norco’s new website, the bikes are certainly worth a browse.
So during the three days in the UK I snuck in an impromptu demo at the Fisher warehouse, drank a pint at the oldest pub in England, Ye ‘Ol Fighting Cock (over 1000 years old), had curry twice, had a great photoshoot with Steve Behr in front of the St. Albans Cathedral, and got to hang out with my old trials riding buddy Martin Hawyes.
Now I’m at the Heathrow airport in London, waiting to fly home. Again, glad to have found the time to do some yoga this morning, always feels good before sitting for 10 hours straight, whew!!
Ride ON!
