To Cornwall: 200 kms later!

Wow,

The entire team did something amazing today. 200km on a bike from Kingston to Cornwall. The spirit and drive of each team member required to ensure that we can all make this kind of acheivement is hard to explain. All inspired by the desire to end a disease that touches so many people.

Today was an incredible ride. Reaching speeds of 45 km/h and sustaining speeds of 40 km/h for 15 minute intervals.

Our dinner tonight gave me some insight into why each individual was here. The most touching story came from George who shared with us the story of his very close friend who died way to early from Breast Cancer. I can't begin to understand his pain due to her loss. I can only use his story to inspire my desire to ensure that this won't happen to any of my family or friends.

We are all looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully we will inspire others to be involved with the Ride for the Cure next year!
