This morning we hit the road early, hoping to make the AB highways shorter by cycling longer. The guys put down 182 kms today. Good tail wind, with an average speed of 30-35 kms/hr. It was fun to watch them ride. So, they have cycled 709 kms, just about half way to the goal of 1450 kms. Tomorrow they will cycle from just south of Whitecourt to St. Albert, about 110 kms. From there we head home to Calgary for the night. Adam and John will enjoy a well deserved day off on Friday, July 1st, and then Saturday will head to Lethbridge, and cycle north to Vulcan, beginning the ride north to Sherwood Park.
Tonight we are staying at the Super 8 in Whitecourt. We met the General Manager of the hotel, Natalie Spencer, and we were very warmly welcomed. This is the second year that the Whitecourt Super 8 has generously donated rooms to us for Cycle for Life. Thanks, Natalie and staff! I will include a picture of Natalie, John and Adam in front of the van, showing the Super 8 logo.
More tomorrow.
