Hey everyone!
Welcome to our very first blog!
If you're here you know the jist of our trip but for those who don't here we go:
Larissa and I will be leaving on the 15th of july (two days!) on a cycling journey that begins in Toronto and will take us all the way to the east coast of Canada!
We have anticipated this trip for so long that we are a little shocked that its so close to the departure date now.
Our trip is both a long awaited adventure and a fund raising challenge for both of us (read below for fund raising details).
Please follow our blog for details on our whereabouts on the trip and send us messages of encouragement (I'm sure they will be helpful after the first 500kms....eeeeek!).
Also, please take some time to look up our charity, Ride for Refugees, and consider sponsoring or joining our team for the ride detailed below.
Specs: The plan is to start in Toronto on the 15th of july and arrive in Halifax on August the 8th. When will we actually arrive? Who knows? (place bets now!). The 2000km trip will take us through some beautiful parts of our country that neither of us have been to. If you have any suggestions for places to check out or have a friend who might put us up for a night please send us a quick message. Seriously!

Info:
Ride for Refugees is an annual event happening in Waterloo that supports a variety of Refugee-support organizations. On October 3rd Larissa and I will take part in a 100km ride around the city of Waterloo with the other fundraisers for the event. Larissa and I somehow decided that 100kms really wasn't enough sweat for us and figured we should tack an extra 2000 kms on our total to really convince people to support the cause. So essentially, we are biking to Halifax to try and raise as much money as possible before the ride day in October.
Anyways, Larissa and I are going on a little bike ride...
Catch ya later!
Sean

I'm gaining a social conscience and doing my first ever blog entry! Look what you guys are teaching the old man!(I'm also blogging in the middle of a long meeting in Esterhazy Saskatchewan). Remember, all drivers are idiots. Stay safe, have fun. Dad
ReplyDeleteI have totally been to Esterhazy, for a family reunion, of all things! I was searching Ride for Refugees, as Souls Harbour RESCUE Mission is hosting the "all-new" 2013 Ride for Refuge in Halifax, NS. I was excited to stumble on your entry! Maybe you can even join us this year!?!?
