They spent today in Toronto. The CN tower was lit in gold lights in recognition of all the children that had or have cancer.

I think often of the journey the riders and crew are on..It is now day 10. Some riders have finished and gone home and new ones are started, some ride all the way and some do a shorter distance. It really doesn’t matter as the journey is what counts. Their experience is what keeps many of them coming back year after year. This ride gets into your soul. It stays with you..it’s not just for the days they are on the road it is there all year round, in the training, the fund raising.. every time they put on their bike shirts I am sure they think of the time they spent on the road… It bonds them and keeps them strong when they feel weak…More Pictures to come!!

From the Blogs

Here are some more great snippets from the rider and volunteer blogs:

• During this ride we get daily reminders of why we are all here. Our morning dedications are stories of children who have fought and won, children who continue to fight and unfortunately, stories of children who have lost the fight. For many riders, Josh is a constant reminder of why they are here. He has become their “poster child”. Read more of Josh Nelson’s blog post
• Today we rode into Toronto, the center of the universe. I can write that with good humour because it has been a running joke within Team 2. As we crossed the country, Glen and Neil poked fun about asking people where were were “in relation to Toronto”. Ironically, since most of the riders are from Toronto area, or at least Ontario, in conversations with them they would inevitably mention place names that I have no reference for so I too would end up having to ask “So where is that in relation to Toronto?
