Hello Ontario!
The team has finally landed in Ontario! Needless to say, Terry and Carl (and their families) are very excited that they are nearing their home turf! Carl has asked me to update their blog…easier said than done. During the few minutes that I spent on the phone with Carl and Terry trying to get details, it was hard to sort out what was fictional and what was made up!
On a more serious note… Terry is feeling better (thankfully). They admit that they are exhausted both physically and emotionally, but on a total high. They have met some incredible people and heard a number of touching stories. They have been blessed with beautiful weather throughout their ride…(other than a few easterly winds that almost blew the tandom off the road!). They have seen lots of wildlife, (most recently a black bear outside Wawa today) and some incredible scenery. They have had some uphill battles with mountains and some thrilling rides on the downside (to the point that Terry was slightly worried about making it down in one piece!…Hard to believe he has all that trust in Carl!)
On a not so serious note, Terry is advertising for a new tandem rider…and is riding in the front of the RV as we speak providing driving directions to Owen Sound! I hope that they make it!
Tomorrow they will start in Owen Sound and make their way towards London. They will be stopping briefly at Sears in Stratford at 3:30pm and moving on to Sears, Masonville in London at 5:30pm. If you are in the vacinity, drop by to wish them well. They appreciate all of your support and thank you for all of you good wishes that you have send their way. Thanks for taking the time to share in their journey!
