People say that Yukon MP Larry Bagnell is everywhere, and I believe it. The team had a wonderful visit with Larry as he hosted us at Parliament Hill today. We were sure to arrive early so we could all watch the Changing of the Guard and have a look around.

Today marks Carly Ray’s final day on the road. When we leave Ottawa, she’ll be heading back home in the other direction. It has been such a pleasure to have Carly on the team. She has brought an upbeat, positive attitude to the team, and has worked incredibly hard for this campaign.  Thanks so much Carly for volunteering your time over the past three months to assist in spreading the important message of Cycle to Walk to as many Canadians possible. The team will miss your corny jokes, your RV driving skills (Soft Shoulders), your spontaneous song and dance numbers, and of course, that wonderful smile!

Gordon and Adele, our wonderful hosts, joined the team this morning to see us off. I figured we wouldn’t see one another again for some time, but it turns out I forgot my jacket at their house back in Peterborough. Thanks very much, Gordon and Adele, for driving out and returning my jacket. I’m going to keep a closer eye on my stuff from now on!
