Bryan Biking Across Canada
Day 1
31.05.2009 - 01.06.2009
Bryan has started his bike trip across Canada! He caught a flight to Vancouver at 11:00am the Sunday, May 31. The guys at The Bike Doctor in Saskatoon helped Bryan gather supplies and had packed up his new bike securely for the flight...he just had to unpack and assemble it to get on the road. A friend of Cliff Reinhardt, Christoph Reiners, sent Bryan map directions to get away from the airport safely. Thanks to all who helped in the preparations! Bryan's only concern was about getting clear of the city.
He isn't so good with the computer stuff so I will fill you in on his progress. He will call me each night until I join him June 29 in Quebec City or somewhere near there.
He got out of Vancouver easily, crossed two big bridges that were a thrill and headed south along the US border towards Abbotsford. He biked about three and a half hours, averaging 30kmph with a slight tail wind. The traffic on the #1 highway was heavy and he had a hard time connecting with nephew Matt Kaminski near Chilliwack. However, he arrived there safely and stayed overnight with them.
A good start to his trek! Please pray for Bryan, his safety in traffic and westerlies.
