Chilling in Tofino

Hey everyone!

Since Friday, Mike, Brian, Jon, and I have been in Tofino getting ready for the big day. Pat will be joining us on Monday. We stayed two nights in Green Point campground, and are now kicking our feet up at the Middle Beach Lodge in an unreal lodge overlooking the beach, thanks to a reduced rate they gave us. It is absolutely amazing!

A bunch of our family is here, and we owe a big thanks to Brian's Dad Dave and his grandparents John and Lois for shuttling us over here with all of our bikes and gear. My Mum brought all of our bike gear with the logos printed, and it all looks amazing. We will be the most stylish group of riders doing the trip this summer, no doubt.

We also got our hands on our Blackberries from Bell, and have not been able to put them down. These are Brian and Jon's first cell phones ever, and we're all pretty blown away by their capabilities. They will allow us to update our blog from anywhere!

The big day is coming and we're all nervous and excited to get on the road. We've got a tough first day to Port Alberni, but we'll be well-rested and ready for it. The Tofino firefighters will be escorting us out of town Tuesday morning when we leave, with our family there to watch! It's great having them here to share this with us.

Our webmaster is away right now, so the fundraising total won't be updated for a little while. We're up over $85,000!!! It's absolutely unreal.

We'll keep you updated, so keep on checking back!

Cheers,

Keith
