We made it. 149.42 kilometres today and we got to Mamo's at 9:30pm. We rode for 8 hours 43 minutes and 2 seconds at an average of 17.14 kph. Mackie's maximum speed today was 40.25kph and the odometre reads 1318 kilometres. Quite an adventure today. We started late because it was raining. Pushed ourselves to make the Quebec border but were held up by a downpour that we waited out in a depanneur. Rode through Valleyfield to find the bridge across under construction so we had to double back for about 4 kilometres. Finally we're here. Mamo, her friend Betty, Pam, Roan and Aidan greeted us as Mackie triumphantly rode up the street. We'll post pictures tomorrow. Thanks everyone.
Congrats you guys....great to hear you made it to Mamos!!! Way to go Mac!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, wow and W-W-W-W ooooooooooooooooooW!!! Congratulations to all. This is the first I've had time to read the blog and finished the entire thing on the edge of my seat - I am so impressed. Mackie - high fives and cheers to you. What a memory and life building experience for you at such a young age. You are a trooper! The other day I told Ethan what you were doing (on our very short bike ride home) and he said "That sounds like fun, but I would need to do some training" - no kidding :). May be next time we can tag along :).
ReplyDeleteWell Michelle, Jeff and of course Mackie - congratulations again. Looking forward to hearing all about it in person... Jolene

Enjoy!
