Day 8 in Niagara.
Everybody looked forward to completing the challenge today. We took the Niagara River route, which goes through the village of Chippewa – here they call it the City of Chippewa! The day was lovely and cool and we completed the 100K in 3.75 hours. Wind was still strong. What a feeling to have completed a 500K cycle challenge in Canada!
When we were starting out this morning, Seamus Kennedy – our director of cycling – asked us to reflect for a few moments on why we were doing the cycle and on the children that our cycle would help. I felt quite emotional – thinking of Helen – when he asked us to reflect on those children who would never be lucky enough to take part in something like this.
