I'm actually in Kitchener, in the home of Arie and Alicia Lise and 4 of our grandchildren, awaiting the arrival of Joel and Marsha and 3 more of our grandchildren. Pizza for supper - hurray!
As if I needed it. Today's ride to St. Catharines included refreshment stops (ice cream fruit, cake, etc. etc) from Fruitland CRC, Shalom Manor (visited Gert De Jong), Grimsby CRC (great to see Peter & Ann de Bruyne!), Beamsville CRC, Jubilee Fellowship, and 3 other smaller groups I couldn't identify with specific churches. But thanks to all for your support and hospitality.
Arrival in St. Catharines was not without stress. The outfit I had reserved a car from had no cars available, so I insisted they had to help me find one. We did, from another agency, who had to bring in a car from Niagara Falls. Phew - so I made it to Kitchener by 3 p.m., as I had hoped.
Anyway, I'm keeping this short because I need to spend time with family. Be assured that it was a good ride today, and we're glad for the rest. We especially look forward to the baptism of Jonas Arthur Lise tomorrow, and I hope I haven't forgotten how to preach a sermon.
I'll blog again on Monday.
Today's stats:
Distance: 78.62 kms
Average speed: 25.2 kph
Maximum speed: 64.1 kph
Time in saddle: 3.06.32
# of flat tires on tour: 9

So glad you've made it to Kitchener... a soft spot for me now too:) Ash & Brent unfortunately are out of town this weekend. They hopped a Greyhound to New York City for the weekend, checking out the sights in the Big Apple. Timing!! Will be remembering you tomorrow as you baptise your grandchild and celebrate with family. Stay safe the last week of your tour, and we look forward to seeing you again in September.
Hugs,
Kevan & Judy
