August 4th - August 7th: INTERMISSION


During the above-stated dates, we temporarily adjourned the cross-country biketrip to accept and complete a top-secret mission for one of Eastern Canada's most notorious mafia patriarchs. The mission can't be discussed here at length; however, I can tell you that it may or may not have involved being shuttled to an undisclosed island location to play mini-golf, enjoy several long walks on reddish-hued beaches, and indulge in sizeable portions of butter-dipped lobster.
The Family was very pleased with how the operation played out.

We will be back on the road tomorrow.

It seems as fitting a time as any to remind readers that this bike trip is being used as a platform from which to highlight and advance a worthy cause from back east. The Randy Cable Fund, a Fredericton charity dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families through periods of treatment, is currently accepting your donations online at

Randy was simply one cool dude with a big heart. A talented musician, he recorded an album in the hospital in Fredericton while being treated for colorectal cancer. He was diagnosed at 29. Caroline knew Randy for one year, which was filled with trying cancer treatments, hospital window painting, coca-cola, and dirty jokes. Randy passed away at the age of 31 and has since been regularly celebrated for his strength of spirit, witty sense of humour, and general supercool-ness.
