We passed the trail run!

Hey everyone!

Well we just finished a our first leg of our trip. We rode from Vancouver to Abbotsford, with an overnight camp in Maple Ridge. We had lots of fun figuring out little clicks on our bike and being guided by our friends/mentors Stephen and Carol Hinde who are riding with us to Calgary.

And now, for the next two weeks some of us will be finishing up our semesters and jobs, and getting the final details ready to leave May 8th!

Thanks for reading!

much love,

It is go time!

Well we are one day away from starting our epic journey! We leave out of Horseshoe Bay Vancouver tomorrow morning. We will be doing a Vancouver to Abbotsford ride first, then on May 8th we will be leaving out Abbotsford for the rest of the trip.

We are all getting very excited, and cannot wait to clip into our pedals and set off on this grand adventure! We will be trying to update this blog about once a week when possible. Please follow us by reading up on how we are doing!

much love,

Thank You!

Our trip is coming up very fast, but first we would like to say a big thank you to all the people who generously donated to our inpatient care Cancer fund. We were hoping to raise $5000.00, and we surpassed this and have successfully raised $7318.47! We will continue to do some small advertising and fundraising along the trip. If you are interested in donating as well, please go to:

Thank you again!

Living three different lives at the same time.

Oh dear life is way to busy! We are all in school in some way or another and at the same time trying to work and plan the biggest adventure of our lives!! It's as if we each were trying to live three different lives at the same time...

We are getting ready for this Saturday's fundraiser. Christian has been working away at his presentation, Jenna has been practicing music everyday, Jeremy has been making posters, and Megan has been searching the town for sponsors. We are hoping that at this fundraiser we will raise a large portion of both our accommodation goal ($3000) and our goal for the bc cancer foundation ($5000).

The trip is starting to feel more real now that it is only a month away and planning is in full force. Friends and family are asking a million questions, most of which we know the answers to but a lot which we make up answers to. It is so encouraging to see how interested everyone is in what we are doing.

We hope you can make it out to our event. It will be guaranteed fun for all. If you have empty bottles we are collecting those as well. You can either bring them to the event of drop us a note and we will come pick them up.

cheers for now!
