Good morning everyone, yesterday was a very rainy day for dad. However he was on the 2:45 pm ferry from Wood Islands into Nova Scotia and this was his goal. He was greeted at the ferry by Mayor Joe Hawes as well as the Warden of Pictou Co in the pouring rain. FANTASTIC! He was escorted by the RCMP into Pictou - THANK YOU MATT! He is now in Nova Scotia - all provinces are now behind him!!He had another cyclist join him from the ferry to Pictou, Susan Jones' brother Ken Hetherington - THANK YOU!
A BIG THANK YOU to his hosts Patti MacKenzie's parents. Patti is an employee of Russel Metal Halifax. She and Tim (also an employee of Russel Metals Halifax) and their two boys Keegan and Hayden were on hand to greet dad went he got off the ferry. THANK YOU! They had fireworks last night after the rain stopped.
Tomorrow dad is arriving in Halifax at Point Pleasant Park Black Rock Beach at 3pm to dip his wheel in the ocean. Please see the route below for his day tomorrow and try and join in to cycle with him. If not cycling, please try and be there to greet him on his arrival with some huge cheers! Let's make this as big a celebration as it should be. Hope to see you all there!!
Welcome home Gary. See you at Point Pleasant Park. Well so far today it is sunny and cloudy here. Hope the weather is on your side as you and Gary Burns bike to Truro. All of your grandchildren have passed. Meghan going to grade 10, Connor going to grade 5 and Nathan going to grade 2. Bike safely and see you soon. All my love Faye.
