Comment on Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath by Peter McKenna

Nice work on mixing fun with charitable contribution. Have you started saving for your Dad’s retirement? Do you guys have a nursing home in mind or are you going to put him in a suite in your basement?

All those years exposed to the glue and vulcanized rubber mean he is going to need to be watched closely.

Way to go Trevor!!!
That was a dream I had long ago/ but in my case did not happen. So it is sure nice to know someone close has been successful.
I was thinking, as I followed you on your trip, what it would be like to see those long roads in front of you every day. Some with lots of hills! (even though most of them have their ups and
downs!!) TEE HEE! The days when the weather; the wind and the rain seemed to be blowing you backwards I’ll bet. You reached your goal, probably the longest if not the biggest one you will face.
Cheers, Ang, Rob and Keith

Okay, Trevor—I’m now in uncharted territory, leaving a comment on a blog! I just had to tell you how impressed I am with your courage and perseverance. You brought me to tears with your final entry. Congratulations on completing a trip of a lifetime.

Love, from Brussels,

Janet and Duncan

Congratulations Trevor, from your Uncle Michael and Aunt Jean! That’s quite a feat: more than 9000 km under your wheels. And I see that you’ve ending it with a bit of drama too: your rear wheel falling to pieces under you as you limp across the finish line! You couldn’t have scripted a more exciting conclusion… :-)

By our calculations you’re flying home today (you’ll find its much faster going West than it was going East… :-) so we’ll wish you a safe return trip — from the balcony of le Grand Hotel in Barcelonette, a small town tucked away in the valley of the Ubaye in the French Alps, just 37 km by road from the Italian border (courtesy of an wireless network left unsecured by some unknown benefactor…)

Wow, Trevor you made it, I’m so proud of you!! It seems it was only days ago that we were sending you and Uncle Michael off together on the first leg of your journey. Congratulations and we’ll see you soon.
