Follow Ramesh's Journey

This morning I sat down in my hand cycle and thought to myself, “Wow this is the last cycling day before we reach Newfoundland & Labrador!” I loaded up on carbohydrates and protein to prepare myself for what Bertha would call ‘a little knoll.’ The little knoll has a name – Kelly’s Mountain – and it rises 240 metres from base to summit.

It took approximately one hour to cycle up the mountainside, but just a few minutes to ride down. It was a gorgeous day for photos, and the wind was at my back once we crossed the Seal Island Bridge. Signs indicating just how close we were to the Newfoundland put the team in high spirits, and once there, I hand cycled until there was no pavement left – only the sea. Let me tell you – we’re ready to share the message of Cycle to Walk with the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

We left Mile Zero in Victoria 162 days ago. It’s amazing to think that we’ll be reaching Mile Zero again in just over a week – except this time we’ll be at Cape Spear!
