Day 158 - Charlottetown, PEI - (Non-Official Route Cycling)
- Tue, September 16, 2008
The team hit the road at 6 am today to visit Rotarians in Sunnyside, PEI. The club’s president, Sandy Rundle, announced that the club has been so inspired by Cycle to Walk that they will make a significant contribution to Rotary International’s PolioPlus program in honour of Cycle to Walk in the near future. After some best wishes, donations and an interview with the local paper, we headed back to Charlottetown – but not without stopping to check out the Confederation Bridge first.
Day 157 - Charlottetown, PEI - Non-Cycling
- Mon, September 15, 2008
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.
Day 156 - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island - 62 km

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.
Day 155 - Pictou, Nova Scotia - 63 km
- Sat, September 13, 2008
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.
Day 154 - Truro, Nova Scotia - 56 km

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.
Day 153 - Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia - 59km

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.
