Cycle Across Canada Rides the BC Lung Trek
September 16, 2011
This year's ride took place on 10th and 11th September, and was for both "oldies" and "rookies" alike, but all of us in our Life Cycle Team had ridden before - it was in fact, Maxine's 19th Trek. In contrast to the rain of last year, we had two great sunny days! Here are some photos of our Team:
Jill at the finish on Trek day 1.
Maxine crosses the finish line closely followed by team member Rose, on Trek Day 1
Dave on his way to the finish on Trek day 1.
As a Team, we had hoped to raise $7,500 but managed to reach $6,451. The total for the Trek itself was one of the lowest in many years, which is probably a sign of the poor state of our economy.
Very many thanks to our friends who generously gave their support!! Would we do it again - certainly! And it will be Maxine's 20th ride!
Now scroll down and "click" on our flag counter - we have been visited by people from 65 countries! Can we break 75?!

Cycle Across Canada goes to the USA - San Juan and Beyond!
August 26, 2010
On a hot day in August, Maxine and Dave took the Washington State Ferry from Sydney, on Vancouver Island, to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. The first day there it rained all day, so Maxine took Dave around all the clothing and “arty” shops in the town and to home-grown theatre in the evening to see “The Connoisseurs”! Next day was sunny, so we cycled across the Island passing by the Crooked House:

Cape Town
”Uncle” Dave with Krystal and Jordan – and Table Mountain backdrop.
Dave is in Cape Town to participate in The Cape Argus cycle race which is held on the Cape Penninsula on March 14th. This is a 109 km race starting and finishing in Cape Town. There are 35,000 entries, including Lance Armstrong – and he need not worry about being beaten by Dave, because they are in different groups! Dave is in the 65-69 years old group, and Lance (plus most of the other riders!) are in somewhat younger categories!
