I’m happy that summer’s over and back in school: Cycle to Walk can once again connect its message with young learners and leaders. Today, the team was invited into Professor Barbara Campbell’s Global Issues class at the University of Prince Edward Island to talk about polio in our world and what Cycle to Walk is doing to help address the problem. The presentation was in front of 60 students and faculty members, however, the presentation was captured on video to ensure that 640 additional students would have the opportunity to hear the message via podcast. Thank you so much, Professor Campbell, for inviting us. I’d also like to thank all the students for being so attentive and for showing so much interest in the Cycle to Walk campaign.

Sometimes, in order to progress forward, you need to go back. The en-route team did just that today after ferrying across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island: we cycled west down the Trans-Canada Highway towards Charlottetown to share our message with the provincial capital.

Today I wore socks and an under shirt while I cycled, which means we have been on the road for a very long time. It really doesn’t feel like we’ve been on the road for 5 months – time flies when you’re having fun, I suppose.  Today’s cycle took the team through some beautiful autumn colours. While I was cycling I thought it would be sure nice if there were even more colours to see, but then I took it back when I remembered a simple truth:  fall leaves = colder temperatures.

We didn’t have to get up at 5am – what a treat! The team enjoyed a little more rest than usual before we headed back to Shubenacadie to begin the day’s hand cycling. There were no dog threats today and all went well.

Today we enjoyed one last breakfast with our wonderful new friends and host family in Halifax. We sure enjoyed our short visit here. Thanks again to Marjorie, Bob, Julia, Laura, and Kevin for making our stay so welcoming and homey. Thanks also to Sáb for all that you’ve done for us.

I don’t think the team could have packed today’s schedule any tighter. We had a great day! It all started off at 7 am when CTV invited me into their studio for an appearance on Breakfast Television. While Chris and I were leaving the studio, three construction workers named Daniel, Roger and Gary approached us, as did a woman by the name of Shauna. Everyone was quite interested in the Cycle to Walk, and they were all both surprised and thankful for the information we provided them about polio.
