Day 6 (yesterday) we pedalled 66km which brought us to William's Lake before noon. We took the rest of the day off to run some errands like some bike maintainance, grocery shopping and a little visiting with friends. Someone stopped Jordie at the grocery store and asked her what her tan lines on her face were from. We watched the Sens lose then packed up and went to bed.
Day 7 - We are riding to 100Mile House today and meeting Guy (Dan's Dad) after work. Guy has been awesome since the beginning of this trip as our support driver. He has spoiled us with excellent meals, his positive attitude and sense of humour. Diane (Dan's Mom) will be taking over Tuesday night from Little Fort to Jasper. We probably won't be updating until Jasper. Our ETA there is Sunday.

Happy Birthday Jordan!
Keep us updated as much as possible and keep the pics coming. I've been out biking these past few weeks and definitely notice a difference in my endurance. You guys must be doing phenomenally compared to me though.
I'm writing you an email today as well so check it out when you get the chance.
For Everyone else posting here, you should include where you are from just for interest sake.
Your Bro,
Chris Evans - Ottawa, On. (Also Waltham, Qc.)
Happy Birthday Jordan!
It's awesome that you have the gumption to pursue this!
When you get tired just think of how many people are tracking your progress - we are behind you. I wish you both well.
