100 km/hr! Sunshine and Webcam is Down
Just to shed some light on the whole webcam situation; we have done everything we can but it just doens't want to show us smiling...or grimacing depending on the slope. Sorry but you'll just have to jump on the bloig and check out some of the photos we are uploading.
Quebec is done and wow did we ever meet some inspiring people. We had a teams of rdiers willing to brave really poor weather and then riders, like Dan and his Team Accu Check crew, come over two hours driving just to help us throughy our epic journey. Sanofi-Aventis, like Accu Check, sne tout some killer riders that helped us navigate through some weird streets north of Montreal and all in all we roilled past the rain and into some glorious terrain, freshly paved roads and sunshine into Ontario. It has been awesome and all the teams in Quebec deserve a big thank you.
In Ontario we have met up with some great people and all managed to get oour first showere as well!!
We have been making great time and Willie even managed to get upto 100km/hr following the van down a huge hill at dusk. Sometimes the protection of the van can be a bit fun but most oif the time they just sit behind and make sure nobody will kill us.
Van life is even fun with so many people just needing to get along. We eat, sleep, drive, ride, stretch and just banter about absolutely anything and evrything. Tolerance is key but a good sense of humour has been imperative.
Well that's all for now.
Team H2V out again...

Wow! I'm so happy to see the map is back. Nice riding you guys...Richard, you are the best. Thought about you all day and I think I saw your arm last night on the web cam...well maybe not..but it looked familiar. You are way ahead of schedule...see you in Vancouver on Friday?
GO you guys...there are a bunch of people here trying to push your wheels.
Speeds you guys are hiting are unbelieveable! Mission is also knitting together JDRF with message of hope!
See you Thursday?
m-o-t-h-e-r-s-h-i-p!
You guys are speeding along this morning in northern Ontario - at White River now. Pretty soon you'll get some good views of Lake Superior.
I enjoyed seeing the ride start at Black Rock beach, Halifax harbour. I hope you get lots of sunny days like the start day on the rest of your ride.
Richard - it was nice to have a chance to talk with you and meet your bike before the pre-ride ceremonies. It was also good chatting with some of the support crew - you definitely have a dedicated team.
When we're home and awake the computer is on and set to your gps track.
Take care and keep up the great work!
You guys are amazing!!!! Stuart family is glued to the GPS page, tracking every update! H2V shirts are being played and slept in and most important, the fund raising continues!!
Be safe and think "flat"!!!

Hey Cous (Keith),
