A Rush of Blood To The Head....

This week will be a bit toned down in terms of distance as Terry and I head towards Thunder Bay. After 3 1/2 weeks we finally got to the top of Lake Superior since leaving Sault Ste. Marie. To put that in perspective, it took me 3 1/2 weeks to run all of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.In Nipigon, Terry and I met with Mayor Ken Harvey as well as Derek Felson and Elenor Wang, from Victoria, who started biking across Canada (west to east) on June 19th. While we were eating lunch at a Nipigon restaurant, we all watched Rob Dyer, who is skateboarding across Canada is support of fighting cancer, skateboard right by our window view of the road.
Thunder Bay is close now! You are probably wondering- Who that guy in the maroon sweater? The joke on the road is that this gentlemen was a very famous male model back in Ireland. I'd like to introduce Derek Lowry who joins the road crew until we reach Winnipeg. Derek adds a very special dynamic to the crew....One that we are all still trying to figure out!
The Dream Continues and rolls towards Thunder Bay...
