Day 36 – Alberta/Saskatchewan border – 64 km

by Ramesh Ferris, posted in Road Updates - Sat, May 17, 2008

Yesterday, I ran over a staple and blew my first bike tire of the campaign. For now, I’m riding a back up hand-cycle. This morning, I scraped my arm while applying chain grease, which explains the bandage I’m wearing today. Regardless of what’s happened, the team is taking great care of me, I feel great, and I’m ready to ride another day.

A big thanks to Lesley and Allan Fath - and your horse Pumpkin - for opening up your home to the Cycle to Walk team last night.  I think it’s safe to say that we appreciated your hospitality as much as your horse appreciates carrots.
