Toronto Twenties Tandem Party Fundraiser

To our family, friends, and followers. We've been on a much needed break from biking. We've spent the last week resting, sunning, touristing, fundraising, and not biking. It was a much needed break.

Because of that, we haven't really blogged, updated, uploaded, or facetweeted. And for that we're kind of, but not really sorry. We just biked most of the way across the country on one bike.

The Toronto Fundraiser went off like dynamite. Pulled together by Nat thank you thank you, Anita, Rene, Gabe, Colt, Dave, Matty, Jerr, Scotty, Carly, Cam and Mark, and the sponsors Cushman-Wakefield and Hub. These people put so much work into helping our cause and raising money for the charities, that we can't thank them enough.

Once again the Tandem Band played, with a few guest percussionists, the one and only Greg Bevis, and Rene "poppin off" Gulliver. The night grew loud and percussively vibratillating well into the evening, throwing the roof off downtown Toronto. The bucket was passed round and funds were raised for all four charities. It was an evening of unforgettable generosity and kindliness.

Today, we made it to our nation's capitol to join in the celebrations of Canada Day. The Queen was here, and we saw her on the big screen. We sent her a formal invitation for a Canada Day quad-tandem stroll, but she dutifully declined. The celebrations were joyous and jubilous, and only further proved that we live in the most incredible country in the world, with the most dynamic population in the world. Happy Canada Day.
