Day 99 - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - Newlyweds Support Cycle to Walk
- Sat, July 19, 2008
This weekend the City of Sault Ste. Marie is enjoying its annual Rotaryfest event – full of amusement rides, cotton candy, music, and parades. After meeting up with the Soo’s iconic mascot, Bon Soo, the Cycle to Walk team joined in the parade thanks to an invite by the local Rotary Clubs. This was the biggest parade the team has ever participated in, and it was great to be a part of it!
Day 98 - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - Community Cycle
- Fri, July 18, 2008
The sky was grey and dark and it looked as though it might have rained this morning, but that didn’t stop the team from participating in some Cycle to Walk events organized by the local Anglican Churches. My brother Matt, who recently returned from New Zealand with his wife Lynda, joined me for the first leg of the cycle. Together the team cycled on Anglican Church road where we were greeted by Father Bill Stadnyk and members of St. James Anglican Church. The church’s Vacation Bible School Students sang a lovely song for us after a the team did a brief presentation. After question and answers, donations and kind words were given before the team progressed towards St. Mark’s Anglican Church in Heyden. We were joined by two other cyclists, Rick Fall and Fiona Ortiz, and we had a great time riding together as a group.
Day 97- Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario- Non- Cycling
- Thu, July 17, 2008
Today felt like more of a typical Cycle to Walk day, as there were four events scheduled. It all started off with a visit to the Canadian Paraplegic Association to meet with Diane Morrell and her staff, Matt, Wendy and Lisa, at the Accessibility Advisory Committee office. Everyone was so excited to hear the message of Cycle to Walk, and they provided us with a letter of support at the end of our visit.
Day 96 - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - Non-Cycling Day!
- Wed, July 16, 2008
This morning I enjoyed a swim at the John Rhodes Community Centre Pool. Afterwards, I spent the rest of the day catching up with friends here in the Soo!
Day 95 - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - Non-Cycling Day
- Tue, July 15, 2008
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!
Day 94 - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - 121 km
- Mon, July 14, 2008
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.
