I slept in until 9am today. Felt great. We went to the University around 11:30am for the BBQ they had to greet us into Lethbridge. I didn’t expect to see so many people out. There were around 50 people outside U-hall clapping as we rode our bikes down the hill. As we walked into the atrium there were a couple hundred members of the University community gathered. Bill and I said a few words to the group of people, and then we ate and spoke to all those that came out. Seeing so many people out made the 1200km journey so far worth it, and will make the remaining 6200km that much easier.
We decided to take another rest day tomorrow to give Vanessa sometime to heal. We’ll head to Medicine on Friday morning. I ended up just hanging out on campus for a good part of the day catching up on what’s going on, and what’s flooded. Brett is making arrangements to see various professionals about his knee while in Lethbridge. We’re still hoping he can join us from Regina onward. Fingers crossed!
I forgot to mention in my last posts, but our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the two bikers that were killed on the Trans-Canada Highway last week-a very sobering reality. We’ve taken steps to limit our risks when we reach this stretch of highway in a couple weeks.
