DAY 18 - DESTINATION WINNIPEG

Dad started his day yesterday by going to the A & L Get Active Bike Shop to get two new tires.  THANK YOU TO BILL & BERYL his hosts in Brandon!  Bill took dad to the bike shop and then took him to get a hair cut and beard trim while the bike was being looked after.  Amy at A Hair Affair looked after dad and would not charge him or take a tip.  She just gave dad a big hug and said no trouble at all.  THANK YOU AMY!  Dad thanks Ron for the contributions to his ride.  THANK YOU to Cam and Sacha at the Bike Shop who gave dad a discount and gave the bike a much appreciated tune up.  Picture of dad with Bill & Beryl.

Dad arrived in Portage la Prairie last night around 6 pm.  Today he is headed for Winnipeg.  Checked the weather and it looks good for cycling.  Sunny with a few clouds & a high of 17 in Winnipeg.  The winds are blowing from the west.

    Hey Gary, Ted from Medicine Hat told me about your ride... God Bless you for doing this and raising awareness (and a sizable sum of $$ too!) I contacted Global News in Winnipeg and left a message you were coming through and they should give you some publicity.. maybe RAISE more donations! Don't know if it helped, but I hope so. All the best and good luck in achieving this goal!! I AM so IMPRESSED!! Barb B., Calgary
