Before heading out of PG this morning we attended a school where the kids met us with incredible noise and enthusiasm! The kids cheered loud and put a smile on our face for the rest of our day! One of the small students has just recently gone through numerous cancer treatments and her schoolmates have rallied together to support her and her family. The school collected all their change and allowances and donated it to the Cops for Cancer tour! We talked with some of the students about why we are doing the Tour and tried to encourage them to maintain a healthy life style.
We headed out in some dense fog this morning that didn't burn off till mid morning but than the sun came to shine all day again! We rolled in to Hixon for lunch and were once again met by the local elementary school kids who welcomed us to their community and than asked us all kinds questions about our bikes and Tour. They were a pretty fun group and I think the best question was "do you take naps?"
The after lunch route was pretty challenging and there was some big and long hill climbs which has us pretty exhausted tonight - especially that last one that should have had a summit sign on the top deeming it a mountain but the Canadian Tire flag was just as good! We still made good time and got to Quesnel on schedule and were welcomed at the Canadian Tire by community members. We had an extra treat of massage therapists that gave all the riders a quick massage on those sore leg and back muscles - that was muchly appreciated! Another fantabulous supper and all are heading to bed a little early tonight so we can be on our "A" game tomorrow!
