Well its June 6th and we just checked into our accommodations in Victoria.  Wow what a great city this is.  My dad and I got here a little early today and had a chance to hang out down by the fisherman's wharf and enjoy some fish and chips.  We also met Svend here today so it was nice to see he arrived safely.  Svend and I...

Well we made it to a small place just outside of Spokane Washington.  Had  a great day of driving until the weather in Idaho.  In a span of 5 minutes we hit rain, hail, fog and sun.  We pushed through that and are now only about 6-7 hours from Vancouver.  Should arrive there tomorrow.  I'm pretty tired but before...

Just a short blog tonight.  We have officially started the first leg of Avery's ride for PKU.  Unfortunately its not on a bike but its driving out to BC.  My dad and I have made it to Beloit Wisconsin, a pretty good day of driving in great weather although it appears that a pretty big storm is coming in.  We made it through...

Well in one week from today I'll be driving to the west coast with my dad.  I cant believe how fast the time has gone since we started the planning of this idea.  I'm super excited to start and a little nervous.  I'm realizing the hardest thing about all of this is not going to be climbing mountains or biking crazy distances every...

Well we are about one month away from when my dad and I will begin our drive out to BC to start the ride.  Things are coming together well and I have been able to get a few more long rides in.  Today I was able to ride from Kitchener to Guelph and then on to Fergus before returning to Kitchener.  In total I rode about 100 km....

Well it looks like (fingers crossed) the weather has finally started to cooperate with me wanting to be outside riding my bike.  I was able to get out last Saturday and ride from Kitchener to Listowel.  When I arrived in Listowel I noticed that two screws has come out of my cleat and therefore I could not get my shoe to detach from my...

We got some exciting news today regarding two new sponsors for the ride for PKU.  Cambrooke foods has donated $2500.00 to the ride making them a silver sponsor and Vitaflo has donated $1000.00 to the ride making them a bronze sponsor.  With these sponsors, cash received and the online donations through corddonate.ca we have raised over...

Just got back from a trip to Peterborough yesterday where we had a fun day.  I finally met Tanya Chute who is taking care of a lot of the planning of the ride especially the event in Peterborough on July 27, 2014.  Menchies frozen yogurt agreed to donate a portion of their sales last night to the ride which worked out to just over...

So between basement renovations and two children who have been sick on and off for a while now I have not had much of a chance to blog.  Ive been training as much as possible over the last little while but riding my bike on the stationary trainer is getting pretty borning.  I'll be getting outside as soon as possible and looking...
