The aim of our cycle rides is to raise funds for lung research, and we do this through the British Columbia Lung Association to which all donations go directly. All costs of the trips are paid by ourselves. This year we cycle from West to East with the wind behind us! See Trek & Route Details

This year's cross Canada ride is being sponsored by some of the Volkswagon Dealers along our route. Contribute to cleaner air - cut your fossil fuel consumption in half with a VW diesel!!

Donations very welcome!

Please join VW and click for the official Lung Association donation site and: Donate in support of Dave or Maxine

Thank you to our sponsors:,

Our Main Sponsor this year:

Before heading for the Newfoundland Ferry, I found all these cormorants in the evening near Pictou, Nova Scotia, and then compare the photo the following morning when an intruder moved in!

New Brunswick and Raining even more!

August 01, 2008

I had always wanted to cycle across the Pont du Quebec. Check out the width of the bike path - very eerie looking down through the girders to the water below!

Quebec and still raining!

July 24, 2008

It's official! Most rain in Ontario and Quebec this summer since 1937!

I am now in Quebec staying a day in Montreal. I have been soaked through so many times, hard to remember what it was like to ride in the sunshine! At least the rain has stopped long enough each day for me to dry my tent!

Had a nice morning enjoying the cycle paths through Ottawa, but then spent the afternoon in real heavy rain finally making 191kms before a brief dry period enabled me to put up my tent, and then it rained most of the night

In front of Parliament - Stephen Harper did not come out and see me!
