Today, the team worked with Father Bill Stadnyk to figure out the logistics for some Cycle to Walk community events which are taking place in Sault Ste. Marie this weekend. After a bit of route reconnaissance, it was off to a local bike shop, Vélorution, for a tune up. Thanks to Andre and all of the staff for the in-kind service and support!

Today, I gained a better understanding of the term, ‘soft shoulders’ – our motor home got stuck in sand on the side of the road this afternoon. We weren’t really set back for all that much time though, as members from the Ontario Provincial Police came to our rescue and towed us out with their truck.

Now, we’re in Sault Ste. Marie, and it’s my turn to be on some home turf: I graduated from Sir James Dunn High School here in 1998. It’s nice for me to have some downtime in familiar settings. I was excited to show the team some Sault Ste. Marie sights – in particular, my old high school.

Day 92 - Montreal River, Ontario 107 km - Three months and 4000 km!

by Ramesh Ferris, posted in Road Updates - Sat, July 12, 2008

Today’s cycle was just beautiful as we progressed through Lake Superior Provincial Park. The team celebrated its 4000km mark at Agawa Bay. Because we were right by the water, we thought we would be a little different and mark the spot in the lake (if anyone was wondering, I can’t hand-cycle in sand). Today also marks the third month since Cycle to Walk launched from Victoria on April 12th.  The team now is starting to talk about where exactly we were during the first couple of months: May 12th – Edmonton, June 12th – Winnipeg, and now July 12th – Montreal River. For those of you who are familiar with the hill near Montreal River, I reached speeds of 67 km/h on it.
