Well, I have to report that we chose not to ride due to the tremendous amount of rain that we received on Thursday. Has we rode we would have been exposed to the wet roads, puddles, cold,etc. I was able to be at the finish line when my friends came in, the cycling team from the Critical Path Institute, .as we were able to get a group picture at the finish line. I appreciate Diane Stephenson for her never ending kindness to me.
What an exciting day it was as we said goodbye to our new friends in Vancouver, and after a great breakfast we rode our bikes from their house a short distance to Flight Path Park near the Vancouver Airport where we met up with Tom and Phillip Casey. Tom is who I met this last summer when he was riding with the Friends of Phinney going cross country on their ride. Phillip is his nephew and the son of Michael Casey who was the SAG driver that was with them when I was riding with them on my 100 mile day and over Wolf Creek Pass. So happy to have Tom and Phillip with us. Tom is one of those guys who you feel safe with at all times and he has a heart of gold. Phillip has the same genuine kind heart and neat personality. We had a great ride! We left Vancouver and it seemed forever to get to the border. We had to take many different turns and different roads. One of them took us to the path that let us up and over the Alex Frazier Bridge. It was very high and very cool. POP's aka Jerry...
Wayne Smithson: What a mighty man of faith and strength my friend Wayne is. He, along with his dear wife, Helen, have been our adopted parents and grandparents to our children for many years. They are ever serving others and always seem to be at all the activities. Wayne faithfully rides his bike for exercise. He is a great example to me.
