Global Morning News and A channel News!!

It's been a crazy few days, but we are now right into our journey. For the past 4 days, all 6 of us have been running on full steam trying to get all the things done that we needed to get done.

On Monday we night we took the late ferry back to Van, because on tuesday morning we were on the GLobal Morning News! ...not Breakfast television like we had thought, and told so many people...sorry to all the friends who spent about an hour watching Breakfast Television...Luke. SOrry Big Guy.

So we made it to Burnaby by 8am, and patiently waited in the parking lot. We were a tad nervous as this was pretty big news for us! We assembled the bike, and waited until someone gave us instruction. I was hoping Tony Parsons was gonna be there, but alas, no Tony.

At about 8:20, Lynn Collier came out, and gave us some instruction. She asked us a few questions, and then bam, the camera went on and we were on the air.

you can watch the interview here:

we're on at 15:20 into the video.

You may notice how Big Bear has been replaced by a homeless fellow. Well that's no ordinary squeegee man, that's our good friend Mat Murray! He has been traveling in the bowels of SOuth AMerica and the jungles of Ecudor for a few months, and only got home a few days ago to join the Tandem Tour. He was a little caught off guard when they stuck the camera in his face. As he so eloquently put it on BC Television, "I am the Spare Tire."

More to come soon. We'll post some pictures from Day 1 later today.

with freewheelin love
