Things are HOT in Campbell River. We went snorkeling the other day in the river and today plan to go to the lake.
Good luck with your trek.

Hi John! Just back from sunny Spain and had to catch up with your progress! What a fantastic effort - hope everything continues to go well- your pics r great...take care(r there any midges?)
Looks like your are cotinuing to make good progress, John. Dad and I drove to east of Winnegeg before re-starting the ride, so I don't think we will meet up on the bikes. I will watch for you in the Smiths Falls area.
Your photos are beautiful, John! You have quite a talent there.
Good luck with your journey!...Be sure to stop in at a Tim Hortons (soon). And we hope we helped you with your search for camping supplies. Saskatchewan will be an easy bike ride, its pretty flat!... Cheers

John, who is the dodgy looking chap sitting at the camp site table, did you remember what your mum said about talking to men with funny hats on !!! Roger do'nt forget to wash under the wheel arches, I do hope you can get all of that mud off before you try to do a deal with the Canadian motor trade, have you disconnected the speedometer? The pictures are GREAT keep posting and we will keep watching. Will write again soon Phil n Carol xx
Hey!
I have been following your progress across Canada and you are doing so well. It sounds like you are having a great time even though the riding in the rain is obviously less enjoyable! Your blogs are really interesting and your pictures are fantastic!
Keep pedalling, I am behind you all the way :)
Lucinda x
Well done John and good luck & best wishes for the rest of the long journey. I'll keep on watching your progress. Great photos you've taken!
Hi
Great to meet you on one of your rest days updating your website at the Safeway. Brought back memories of 33 years ago when I cycled across Canada with cyclecanada76. O to be young again! Hope you have a great time cycling through the shield. Along the Great Lakes it is amazing! Keep up the good work and we'll follow your progress.
Ken and Pat

Johnboy, good work son. Looks like you've got an exciting part of the ride ahead of you. Enjoy the lakes! I finished the triathlon - not in record time mind, but did it. Your wetsuit did me proud! Listening to Test Match Special right now - England likely to go down in 4th test to set up decider in final game at the Oval. Where's the Everton pennant? Don't say you left it in Blighty? Bet your Dad appreciated you posting shot of him in the long grass! Not to mention your Mum! Go well and thanks for sharing your trip with us - great pictures! Perc

Hey,
I see your trip is going well. I'm the insurance broker that helped you back in Regina. I was just reading up on your journey and was sad to see you ran into a few roadblocks with the van. I'm glad you got it figured out though. Good luck with the rest of your journey and I hope it goes smoothly for the rest of the time, or else you might just be riding in the snow!

Well done Jon you are so nearly there. Love the website and what great pictures. Can't wait to hear all about it. Thanks for being such an inspirational friend - Rob was so lucky to have met you.
Home straight now - see you when you're back. I am now unemployed but will see if I can't spare a bit more seeing as how you've done a bit more cycling since I last donated! Go well. Glad you've got more company for the final leg if only so there's someone who can remember where you parked the car when you get up in the morning! Perc
Rebecca, photos are great. How are the nerves now? How is the body holding up? Looking forward to hearing all about it. Gary says hi! xx

Our best wishes to you and the team A supurb effort by all. Will keep watching and listening Phill n Carol
The journey ends,
But oh, what have you seen,
The ups and the downs and Wilbert’s tantrums.
The people and places, though only once known,
The landscape and laughter forever cherished.
Your dad and your friends, the support never denied,
Always made the long road short.
So as it ends,
Remember,
Two young men with spirits free,
Always with us by the example they set.
But for now, enjoy the Atlantic,
Cool, wide and deep,
And a well earned rest
At the journey’s end.
You made it!!! Awesome news! Have to admit I was a little worried with the state of your ankle all those weeks ago back in Calgary! You will have to let us know how much you have managed to raise once you know. Enjoy your last days in sunny Canada! Karen
