Firstly, as a result of the tremendous support from everyone (and I mean everyone), our personal fundraising this year for Wellspring has reached the $13,000 mark! Woohoo! It truly is a team effort and Gail and the kids have been very involved with planning and helping at the many events so far. Stay tuned....there's still more to come!
Here's a photo of just some of the wines from our very successful Wine & Wellspring event:
We have also been organizing various Wellspring training rides to ensure that everyone is prepared for the upcoming challenge of cycling to Texas. These rides provide an opportunity to practice our 'peloton' riding skills, and also to get to better know all the riders who are dedicated to this event.
A few of us took on a recent challenge to participate in the GranFondo Ottawa event...we signed up to ride the 220km distance in a single day! Wow...we actually completed 235kms. If you are wondering...it's a long way and took a loooonnng time! Here's what we looked like at the start line (I won't show you the end though!):
That's it for this update....thanks again for all your support!
