More Linden Cycle for Life

Other cameras took better photos and they will appear later this evening. For now, thank you to Christine and her committee and the local churches for creating a really cool day in Linden to support Cycle for Life: Build Peace. Stop AIDS. Linden, in this noon-hour event, raised 2,500 dollars today, for AIDS, which puts the total now up to $232,500. Wonderful.

Linden Cycle for Life Day Continued

All ages enjoyed the "wonderful world of Cal's cycle inventions" today.

More Linden (Cycle for Life Day)

Seth and Rob ... thank you for showing up today at Linden ... escorting the cyclists into town and hanging around during the festival ... reminded me of Simon and Maureen, two Peace Officers in Kenya who accompanied us during the ride ... Maureen in the vehicle and Simon on a bike. Thank you, all four of you.

Day 8 Kathyrn to Linden to Lousana

Adam, John, accompanied by Anne and Linda D, headed north from Kathyrn (not Kathryn) to Linden, and then to Lousana. Here a group of us caught up them as they approached Linden today, for what was a wonderful noon hour of hotdogs, Kim Thiessen's CD music, Cal's wonderful world of weird and wacky cycles (total fun), Kris Peters entertaining the kids, bookended on a town block by two firetrucks, the presence of two policemen, and 260 people... a really cool stop for Cycle for Life today.

Vulcan, AB

No riding today. It's good to have a bit of a rest and some time to get organized for our last four days of cycling, and of course the upcoming MCC Summerfest at Sherwood Park (check it out at www.mccreliefsale.com)

A long (short) day

Very happy to be riding with Jeff and Byron today and had a wonderful send off from the folks at Lethbridge Mennonite, but the 35 km/h head/crosswind made today feel like a very long 87 km. The rain missed us at least. No pictures, sorry but here's a video.
