What a great day. Thank you everyone for your support. We have raised around $6,500 as of day one and I couldn’t be more happy. I was scrambling a bit this morning as to be expected for me but I was able to leave on time at 10:30. At my first stop no one was there at first but all of the sudden Mary from my work showed up. We chatted and then I headed off. My friend Simone met me at the Marine drive skytrain and rode with me to Jericho. More friends, Michelle and Lisa joined us at Queen Elizabeth park and we rode the rest of the way with us. The BBQ was well under way when we got to Jericho park and most people had already arrived. We had a competition for some Mt. Everest rocks which was one by Scotty and Anna (what an excellent bear crawler!) who donated one of the rocks to second place team Michelle and Lisa – that was nice!
After a speech and some Glen heckling I rode off with my brother in law Brett who got me well on my way and rode out to my Uncle Dave and Auntie Donna’s. It was beautiful day and a great start.
