An early morning text from Cheryl was my wake up call. My wife was going to bring our daughter Kimberly to cycle with me on the last day of the trip. The text was my notice that I now had one and half hours to pack up and await their arrival.
Cheryl provided vehicle support. She took all of the baggage and drove up from 12 to 20 km’s to wait for us and to provide refreshments. What a treat that was after cycling alone for three days. Kimberly and I were able to have some good conversations as we cycled.
This completed 14 days of cycling that was done over a period of 15 days. A total of 1,572 km’s were cycled to do this trip. It was very special to do parts of this trip with all of my three daughters. Amelia cycled for 8 days, Chantel for two days and Kimberly joined me for the last day.
Truly a test of endurance and some patience and hard work. This trip was not done without some difficult struggles along the way. There were times we needed to reach out for help. On the other hand there were many times where people reached out to ask if we needed help. Isn’t that what life is all about in helping each other out. Raising money as part of this trip for MCC is a very good example of reaching out to help those in need.
Today we rest only to dream of our next adventure.
Gerald,Amelia,Kimberly, and Chantel (cyclists). With much support from Cheryl to help make this happen.
