Ride for Resilience: 7500km for Debby & our Nurses

Relief! After a big day prior, we decided to take it a bit easier, doing only 120km. We thought this would be one of our last days battling with the little-to-no-shoulder Highway 17 when, to our great delight, we found a gravel packed cycle path running parallel with our overall course. So we switched to it and, though it slowed us down a bit, things got way more chilled fast!もっと詳しく

A kind of halfway! Today we rode 144Km from our campsite in Fort Frances to where you turn off the #11 to head up to Atikokan, where Carl picked us up and took us to our campsite for the night farther afield. We'll start back where we finished tomorrow morn.

There are several ways to think of 'halfway'. As you saw in a post below, we passed the longitudinal halfway point of Canada just East of Winnipeg on Monday. We'll pass through the halfway point of the Trans Canada Highway next week. Today was another kind of halfway point: the 24th riding day of a 48 day schedule. The overall plan is longer including Sunday rest-days and margin days, but we're halfway through the riding days as of today! The plan may change, as it did this week. But progress!もっと詳しく

Treherne! Ever heard of it? It`s great! And it means a lot to our family. The family farm my dad grew up on is there - now sold, my grandparents on my dad's side lived their lives there, my Auntie Joan lives there today, and we have lots of memories visiting it! It's a big reason why we took a more southerly route through Manitoba for a bit. Check out the video to see whether a fourth generation Turnbull can find his way through the town to the family home on his own...While taking our Sunday rest day there, my brother Carl also flew in from Vancouver to take over from Debbie and Glen in supporting us!!もっと詳しく
