From Waterloo ON to Waterloo ON
I just hit $10,000 to fight kids' cancer! Thank you so much for your support.
I talked a lot about the Maitland river that I literally walk through by Auburn. The alternative is a 10 km detour around the river on lose gravel roads, which is not fun on a road bike. So I made this movie that takes me through the river. If you are planning a trip, check out my video.
Boy oh Boy it was chilly this morning. The temperature dipped down to 7 degrees. BBRRrrr!!! I didn't leave quite so early at 4:45am. I also decided to take my time. The first 30 km was very cold. It was nice sitting in Tim Hortons for 1/2 hour. I got attacked by a bush while I was crossing the river. It was scary... it growled and then jumped out and bit me on the nose. I do promise it's bark was worse then it's bite. I was planning on taking more pictures and videos, however I ended with less. More volunteer crews were out laying down my fine gravel for the trail, making it better and better.
Tuesday morning up and early again. Left the house this morning at 3:00 am. It turned out to be a day with some rain. Saw the G2G volunteers hard working on making the trail better. I arrived up at camp at 12:30 and Dad and Zachary had the heater on in the trailer, which was really nice. Thanks Dad & Zachary!

Monday morning up and leaving the camp site at 3:00 am… Yep you read that correctly 3:00 am. I crossed the river and it was very dark. It rained a couple of times and I got to see the rainbow in the rain.
Just outside Wallenstein, I met up with another cyclist who wipped out right in front of me. It was awful to witness, but I’m glad I was there to help Ken out. Nothing broken other than his bike, and I rode with him till he was basically home.
Stopping at the 100km to eat & refuel is important. I skipped it yesterday, and by the time I got home, I had terrible leg pain, and my blood sugars were low.
Tomorrow we are back on the trails.
I cycled up to Point farms on Friday, but stayed over the weekend with the family. Kristyn and the three boys joined us, dad was there, and my little sister Joyce came with her family. It was a great weekend.
