Biking to Thompson, completed at 801 km’s

Day started at 5:45, had breakfast at the Hotel and drove back to Pisew Falls. Started cycling shortly after 8. A light North east wind slowed me down. Of course this is followed with a drizzle and really cool temperatures. Not the way I pictured doing the last 70 km’s.

Cheryl again provided support, such a big help to keep me going.

Arrived in Thompson at 1:30 by bike. On any bike trip you have to enjoy the first and last km the most. Feelings are very different, but they are very special.

After arriving in Thompson we had to catch our 5 pm train to Churchill. So it was a quick changeover and sit on the train for 18 hours. We have just arrived at Churchill.

This cycling journey was also a fundraiser for MCC. My goal was to raise $2 per km with an estimated distance of 780 km’s. (Actual distance was 801 km’s, due to side trip on my day off) Thank you to all those who have donated to MCC. For those who still wish to you can go to my donation page, it will be open until the end of August. Contact me for the link if you wish to donate. Or you can just give me the money in person if that is possible and I can forward it to MCC.

I will do one more blog entry about this trip in the next couple of days. Talking more about my feelings as opposed to just the facts.
