Hi Everyone,
Brian and Jon arrived safely in Vancouver on Sunday and we have been busy gathering gear and getting prepared since the moment they arrived. We have been WAY busier then we were expecting to be; which could be a good thing since we are far too busy to be nervous. After three days of shopping, I think we finally have all of our equipment and gear...there are only a few errands left to do before we leave for Tofino on Friday morning. We are all looking forward to beginning our journey!
Last Saturday, Keith and I biked to Stanley Park to meet another group of cross-Canada cyclists who started their trip a few days earlier in Port Renfrew. They have called their ride the Typically Canadian Tibute Tour (http://www.typicallycanadian.com/) and are raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society while honoring "typical Canadians" who have struggled with Cancer. We are both following a similar route and timeline throughout the trip, but there is a chance we will cross paths or even meet up in St. John's. I love the idea behind their ride and wish them all the best as they make their way across the country!
Until next time,
Mike

We enjoyed your company and the good cheer shared these past days. I am confident the thousands of Canadians you meet this summer will feel the same, richer for the experience.
With envy and admiration,
GDaddy
