We woke up from an incredible sleep to the smell of baking bread! Birch & Becky were not done spoiling us yet... they sent us off with full bellies - home grown eggs, fruit salad and home-made bread! We made our way to main street to start our ride to Owen Sound. We were thrilled to be joined by Natasha, Dawn, Kerry & Kevin! We had a great ride to Owen Sound (after I changed my tire - the slow leak quickly turned into a fast leak). Once arriving in Owen Sound we had a few interviews with the newspapers, radio stations, and the health unit. Then we jumped on the Big Red Bike and rode it around town with 28 other locals who raised money for the heart and stoke foundation. What an inspirational ride! We were showered in fist pumped, waves and car honking! We then rode to Deane and Dawn's and were excited to play on the slack line. They made us an amazing meal and opened their house for us (shower, bed, food, and a total bike tune up!) After a delicious dinner we headed to Fred and Ruth's. Ruth immediately got me ice and anvil for my Achilles tendon (but not before Fred got me a beer!) Our friend Leigh got us tickets for "Other Folk" a musical tour around Owen Sound. So Carlin, Natasha and I spent the evening touring Owen Sound surrounded in familiar faces and great talent! |
