Our reception in Calgary was one of the highest saddle. Global Calgary met us outside the city limits and interviewed us as we peddled up the hill towards cowtown. They filmed our faces and put them on tv, spreading The Tandem word.
The first night in Calgary, we reunited with family and friends. In Calgary, each of us has friends that we treat like family, and family that we treat like friends, and we've been enjoying the love in Calgary.
We had a successful fundraiser at Richmond Pub the other night, and o man did we rest and relax. We met up with new friends, and everyone at the bar celebrated the night. Some of the Tandem Souls jumped up on stage and played a few songs, much to the celebration of the crowd. Ben, Mat and Ian, joined by drummer Mark Seamone, grooved the night away, while The Firm Handshake closed the night out with some bluesy tunes.
Today...we get going...try to get going...we will get going...by this afternoon. We move. This afternoon we move...just have to get the bike tuned up first. Brent is madly working his Big Bear Magic on the bike, and we ship our this evening.
we will miss all our Cal fam, mark, Kass, Jo, Joanie, Uncle John and Aunty Janice, all warshawskis, my seester, Brad, Kris, Ashlene, Kaelin, Mike, Mark, Buddy, Luke, Jeff, Aunty Paula, All Fords

I wish you guys the best of luck. You are living the dream. My best friend Samuel is planning to do the same thing, he is going to cycle across Saskatchewan this year, and next year plans to cross the country. He is trying to raise awareness of a rare genetic disorder (Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency) which he has. He has to stay active or he will get very sick.
