Thank you for sharing that very personal and painful information with us. Our best wishes to your family, we will keep all of you in our thoughts, and like others have said, we hope that cycling continues to give you solace and enjoyment, however alloyed it may be.

Hi Steve and Dodi
I hope you find some solace on this trip and can relax even for a short time during this extremely stressful and sad time in you life. I’m sure turning the pedals will take the stress away and distract you. Have fun, also just catching up on how many pieces of tort you ate haha Frank and I plan to visit Chech Republic and surrounds next year so good reading I didn’t realise we’d have to eat so many cakes!
Cheers
Sandy

Hi Grampies,
Patrick O'Hara here from Vancouver. I now have two journals that I look forward to reading every day.....The Grampies and The Andersons. I have followed many of your trips in the past. Glad to see that you are taking time to explore close to home. Take Care. Tail Winds!

Steve, I always thought "What a shame all these cyclists from such different and exciting parts of the world hardly introduce their home turf to us!" Here we go! I look very much forward to reading about what you have to say about your country, state, province, town...

Michel, you will always be top of our list!

Of course, you know this territory well, and you inspired us to criss cross Saltspring in July. But we will try to find something interesting to look at or do out there!

We are so delighted that you off on this trip and will delight in following you along I imagine that you will bw in for your fair share f hill climbing and rough roads
Take care
Ken and Tricia

Please do not scrub me from your list.
