First up – a HUGE thank you to the countless people who wrote on the Comment page of the Avalanche post, and especially for some very touching and emotional emails from people who felt comfortable enough to share their stories of loss. We learned a lot from this experience. One friend said it very well though, “Strange how after something like that happens, the world just wakes up and the day starts and life goes on…” This is a fact. Now we’ll take some things along that we’ll never forget.
Onward. After a few days of relaxing at home, Janine and I decided to rebuild our DolomiteSport site to meet the needs required of it – now it will be more like a Blog.
Photos - Interaction - Fun Stories - Trip Reports - Gear Reviews, etc…
And we’ll not be the only people involved, others will now be contributing as well. With numerous trips having been booked through our partner’s sites, travel details sent our way, and countless emails of appreciation for the resources we’ve provided, we realize that the site is a huge success. This all makes us tremendously happy.
After only one year online, it is time to grow and take it to a new level. The new site is up and running but still in need of additions. Beta version at DolomiteSport.com There are some known issues we’ll deal with soon. Still learning WordPress. In the coming week there will be all new photos and much new information.
Also, we have a new Twitter feed just for DolomiteSport, you can subscribe at: https://twitter.com/dolomitesport -This will be specific to things we do in the Dolomites. Tomorrow we’ll kick off the new feed with live updates and photos (and humour) from our team training camp. For day 1, we’ll be riding about 200km from home to Lake Garda where we’ll stay for a few days of training. One thing is certain: Duration of the rides+group energy= abundant Italian cuisine photos.
We’d love to hear from you on the new Comment feed as well – we hope you’ll check in.
