A perfect Nova Scotia day
Ward rode out to Peggy's Cove and then onwards to the Bike and Bean on St. Margaret's Bay Road, about 75 km.
Madge drove to Bayer's Lake and then got on the BLT trail out to meet Ward, about 25 km.
We actually timed it perfectly, arriving at the same time!
Madge biked for just over an hour and Ward biked just under 3 hours.
We had a great lunch in the sunshine, and then back in the saddle again!
A hot ride back to the car, and then instant naptime when we got home.

4-bike rack
MEC in downtown Vancouver now has a 4-bike rack which we can pick up either 19th or 20th. We've checked with Lorne and he thinks the hitch will be fine. Keep your fingers crossed.
Flights booked
Flight is booked for the 18th of June and we arrive at 3pm. Mom and Dad arrive at 4pm and I have a van rented for the day to take us all in to whiterock.

Learned last night that Marlie Manning and Tom Ward will be joining the trip for a few days of riding through the mountains. Yahoo! We will have the "nutrition queen" to teach us about electrolytes.
Helen has already shopped til she dropped, picking up supplies for the route, including a plug-in cooler and a "really ugly blanket for the car that Olin will like". I am looking forward to having Helen as a passenger in the Jeep, along with Olin in the first week. We intend to find motels with swimming pools and playgrounds. And bars!
Andrew will probably be with us for the first week, once his bike has been re-routed to Montreal from Sudbury!!
If all goes well, start date will be June 22 from White Rock, B.C. The back tires will be dipped in the Pacific Ocean and then the riders will be off and running.

One month to go!
Well, I guess this is really happening. Trying to get my life in order now to take this time off. Training is going OK and I’m starting to feel stronger.
