Day 88 - Just past-Schreiber, Ontario - 37 km
- Tue, July 8, 2008
Safety is essential for the road team, other motorists, community members and myself. Today was the first day we had to cancel a cycling day because of the weather. We woke up this morning to a thin mist in Schreiber, but it gradually turned into a thick fog with light rain as we climbed through the Jackfish Bay area. It was just past Jackfish that the team decided to head back to Schreiber in a blanket of fog.

After a hearty breakfast at Skandia House, the people of Nipigon gave the team one of the warmest sendoffs we’ve received. People met us at the side of the road in work clothes – such as nursing scrubs, and garage overalls – and took the time just to see us off. It means so much to us when people take the time and just drop what they’re doing to demonstrate their support for Cycle to Walk. Thank you, again, to everyone in Nipigon for your generosity and support.
Day 86 - Nipigon - Non-Cycling Day

Members of St. Mary’s Anglican Church came together and prepared a lovely breakfast for the Cycle to Walk team this morning. Thank you everyone for your kindness! The breakfast was fantastic, and I’m sure that with all the pancakes, dishes of quiche, pigs in blankets, and eggs, I received my daily requirement of 5000 calories.

Small towns are just great! Nipigon, while not large in size, has an enormous heart! When the team arrived at the visitor information centre this morning, there were so many people there to wish us well and show support for the Cycle to Walk campaign. Thank you, Ko, from the local Interact Club for organizing so many supporters to greet us here in Nipigon – your leadership is to be commended.
Day 84 - Nipigon, Ontario - 99 km

Today’s ride went down such an inspirational section of highway. The Terry Fox Courage Highway runs between Thunder Bay and Nipigon, and we were on it all day. It was a beautiful day full of happy reflections, and friends – both old and new – supporting the fight to end polio. The City of Thunder Bay understands the message of Cycle to Walk completely.
