The debut of our feat is quickly approaching, and so, I thought it was about time I get blogging!
Today was my last long ride before I fly to Calgary next Sunday, when Mel and I will hop into our awesome RV (yet to be named) and venture to Mile Zero on Vancouver Island. The sun was shining, my bike was purring and my legs were burning. All good things. As I rode through the Gatineaus twice over, I couldn't help but feel excited for what is to come. I'm not sure how, but I feel ready to take on all 6,000 kms, one day at a time.
I would like to take this opporunity to thank all of our supporters who came out to the Ottawa Silent Auction fundraiser. The event was held at Raw Sugar Cafe and among our special guests were Dr. Bell and his wife, my mom, sis, bro-in-law and newborn nephew, and of course, my Pedaling Feat partner, Mel.
That night we raised over $3,600 and auctioned off great items including a bike donated by Kunstadt Sports, a photo donated by Craig Gosling Photography and a Lululemon Yoga Kit.
Our next blog will more than likely be from Mile Zero. Until then, keep the e-mails, encouragement and donations coming! And keep in mind that we are still looking for drivers through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, so if you know anybody, pass along our e-mail address!

Thanks to all for your continuing support,
Lisa
