On Friday we rode from London to Breslau. 72 miles. In contrast to Thursday, we felt good and strong on the ride. We did hear from other riders that the first week seems to be the most difficult, then the body seems to adjust to the consecutive days riding. It was a beautiful ride with lots of rollers (small hills up and down) that made for a fun ride.
Saturday was a short ride from Breslau to Ancaster. 54 miles. Beautiful, uneventful. We rode fast to our car parked at Redeemer University, said our goodbyes, and drove home to our girls!
For us, the ride is over but there are still riders making their way to Staten Island, NY. They will arrive August 24. Please pray for safety for the riders as they make their way there! During our week of riding, one rider did fall and break his leg.
Some people have asked where the donated money goes. Here are some of the initiatives that are receiving grants from the Sea to Sea ride:
Reformed Church of America: Rural Development in Niger, Community Development in Kenya, Anuradha Clinic and Blue Mango in India, Banyan Tree, Give-a-Cow, and School Programs in India, Migrant Workers in Korea, Healthy Children in Nicaragua.
World Renew: Disaster Response Services (in North America), Community Development (in more than 40 countries around the world).
Partners Worldwide: active partnerships in 23 different countries to create and sustain jobs.
Thank you for your support during our fundraising and riding.
God bless,
Mark and Katie
