Today we rode 77 miles from London to Redeemer University in Hamilton, Ontario. There were probably like 8 snack stops along the way with various baked goods, fruit, and drinks. The main stop along the route was in Woodstock. It was a lunch stop with the full spread and sub sandwiches. Thanks so much to all the people generously gave their time and baking skills to encourage us along the way today. The Ontario countryside was beautiful and the roads were quite smooth and less traveled which made the day more relaxing and enjoyable. It has been lots of fun to see those on the tour from around here meet up with friends and family at our stops and along the route. Thanks especially to the Bentum's who fed us a delicious shepherd's pie, ice cream, and homemade cookies and put us up for the night last night. We really enjoyed this. Last night camp was in London at London Christian High School. We were absolutely blown away by there hospitality. In fact, they did such a good job that they even over fed us and had much left over which they said that they would donate to the mission. There were probably five long tables filled with desserts after a hamburger dinner in camp last night - ice cream, brownies, homemade bread and muffins, pies, goodie bars, etc. - pretty much whatever dessert you could think of. Wow, what support and what a warm welcome in Canada. People here in Canada have been so support and encouraging. They have really gone the extra mile, I mean kilometer, to make us feel welcome. Tonight we are at Redeemer University. Denise gave me a walking tour of campus. It looks like a fun place to attend college and has a very nice campus. Redeemer fed us dinner tonight. The kitchen staff has really been getting the break they deserve these past few days and I think they have more to look forward too. Some friends may give us a tour around Hamilton tonight. I am looking forward to the weekend in St. Catherines. We plan to visit Niagara Falls tomorrow night. I am skipping peleton right now to write this in Redeemer's library. Until next time...
