Day 3 - Manning to Donnelly Corner

It has been a looooong day for the cyclists...166 kms. Tomorrow another 160 kms day, Wednesday, 140 kms, and Thursday 160 kms. These guys are amazing. So strong. Determined. It was a good day, in spite of the length of the ride. Dustin Elias (nephew to Jake) and his wife were travelling to Edmonton today, and very kindly transported Adam's duffle bag. They met us on the highway and delivered the goods! Thank you! Adam can now change his clothes and brush his teeth. Yaaay!!

Highlights: saw a black bear dart out of the bush, take one look at the highway and cars, and dart back into the trees; drivers honking in support and affirmation, rather than irritation...nice change; met the nicest manager at the Paradise Inn and Suites in Valleyview, Mike, where we are staying tonight. A year ago they sponsored us with free accommodations, and this year they agree to do so again. Abe saw him taking a picture of the Cycle for Life signs on the van and introduced himself. Thank you, Mike and staff at the Paradise Inn and Suites!
