Alouette welcome



Yesterday night, we were welcomed by the Montreal Alouettes at their home game. I would like to send a special thanks out to Olivier Poulin, Shawn Taylor, Allan, and the Alouettes for inviting us to come and encourage fans of the Als to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Prior to the game we were welcomed onto the field with an introduction to a sell-out crowd at Stade Percival Molson. The Alouettes generously donated a replica autographed helmet which will be auctioned off after the ride to gain more funds for the Quebec jurisdiction.

Prior to this game, I had an interview with Bernard from CBC Radio in Montreal. We went through a regular interview, but in turn there was a little bit of a surprise for me as they had phoned my father earlier that day. He encouraged me to keep riding, and it was extremely nice to get this surprise while on-air.

Today we moved out of Quebec City where the ride was situated and into a town called St. Jean-Port-Joli. Tomorrow, we will land either in Riviere-Du-Loup, or cross the border into New Brunswick. It is extremely beautiful to ride through this countryside, as you always have the St. Lawrence on your left hand side and lush lush fields flowing down towards the St. Lawrence. The cycling is great with 8ft shoulders. Stay tuned as we continue to travel along the St. Lawrence and this gorgeous countryside
