Special Thanks to Mike's Bikes.

As luck would have it, they ended up bringing a 20 person peleton to my ride schedule! Amazing.

What was refreshing is that instead of hammering the pace (like we have & do almost each time we ride), they intelligently raised and maintained the consistsent 31+k avg we requested. Brilliant.

Mike's daughter has juvenile diabetes and six weeks ago he kicked things into high gear and has since raised over $3500k! All of the riders (pro riders might i add), were super accomodating and helpful as they forced me to the back of the back to conserve enegry. I obliged and as night fell, i was happy i did.

The excitement of the morning ride, as well as the fantastic receptions ensured no one slept a wink all day, yet as i write this blog, I sit alone (outside of the two drivers). Once again, I have to give kudo's to all the volunteers on the ground, Carmen, Fred, Bryan, Leslie, Jan, Felix, Alex, Curtis, Jay, Robert,Tom, Suzanne, David, & Kim for the unbelievable round the clock support they have provided us o do what we do best.

Although we will ride into Vancouver and recieve a great deal of the accolades, it's truly those people who have facilitated this journey! They seriously rock. And then to hook up with supportive bike stores from across the maratimes - well, let me say - it's overwhelming. Off to bed, chat with you tomorrow.

Cheers
