Brett Holmes, and friends Vanessa Esau and Kelly Kennedy attempt to cycle across Canada. Fellow student, Allan Hall will be driving the support vehicle. Partnering with the University of Lethbridge, the four of them will promote one of the finest post-secondary institutions all the while cycling over 7,500 km this summer.

Day 38 — Sunday, July 27
East of Sault Ste. Marie to Spragge I tried to get some sleep in the van today as I wasn’t feeling very well. I think I’m slowly getting a cold or something.
We drove back to the drop-off point and the cyclists kept going. We pulled into a campground at a town called Spragge. Just as we were pulling in, Vanessa got a flat tire and lost her balance and wiped out. Jeepers! She was only going about 5 km/hr but that still smarts. She hurt her hand but her shoulder looked like it got the worst of it. Surprisingly she got back up without a problem. Her shoes clip into her pedals so it’s not always easy to get out of them in time.
We met some folks from Edmonton and we saw another group of people from Grande Prairie. I did some pushups then went in the pool for a bit. We then did laundry while enjoying the slowest internet on earth, and then hit the hay.
