It was a beautiful moment. We held hands and formed a circle, grooving with the music, we expressed our gratitude to each other. Hands were warm, so were our hearts. Love flowed through the circle. Thank you, Julia, for inviting the Spinning Wheels Relay team to your Dance for parkinson’s class.
The dance class marked the end of our cycling trip in PEI, the third province, 5 days of 240 km riding.
In PEI, we had the biggest crew of 14 riders. As we head west to New Brunswick, I have to say goodbye
every day.
Thank you John, Billy, Steve, and Lisa, for flying from Toronto to PEI to participate in this ride, you made this ride rich in stories and laugh. Thank you Steve and Zane, you inspire the team to pedal harder, go faster, and have fun. Thank you Mike and Marisa for your generosity, we really appreciate your lovely beach house, especially after days of camping in wet weather. Thank you Brett and Sofia, you are always ready to help, with patience and empathy, you tightened the bond within the team. Thank you Jane, for your support and love to the team, your endless energy will be missed in the van, on the campground and on the ride.
And I have to say bye to my dear teammate since the start, Lloyd, thank you for organizing this event. You are touching people’s hearts and changing people’s lives. You make the summer meaningful for us and the positivity and impact will last years, even lifetime. We have been the best duo in media interviews, and I will miss riding with you on the road. I hope you all the best in the next adventure, can’t wait to hear stories from the north.
In PEI, we stumbled upon something beautiful. It reminded me of the moments when we battled the headwind, when we were exhausted on climbs, when we fell in gravel, when we starved on highways, when we laughed, cried and held each other tighter.
