I am so inspired and motivated by all the people who are an active part of this event...as well as everyone who steps up to support it. It was a beautiful day for the launch which began at the Wellspring centre in Oakville Ontario. We heard inspiring words about how important Wellspring is to people who are fighting the battle of their lives including personal stories from each of our 5 cancer warriors. Friends and family of all the riders and volunteers came our to cheer us on as our full group escorted the first team of riders out to start the 3000km journey to New Orleans. We ride non-stop relay style, always with a team with wheels on the road, covering every kilometre of the route.
Our team's ride today was from Dunnville Ontario to Buffalo New York. We got to cross the Peace Bridge and US customs on our bikes!
A few photos from today...
