Woke up at 6 am as I did not sleep well last night. Breakfast was again being served at 8 by one of the local churches. Nothing officially scheduled until 1:30 p.m. Some went biking, some went shopping and others attended local churches. Lunch was again served and at 1:30 we were on the buses to the celebration event at Brock Memorial. On the way to the park it poured. Fortunately for the meet and greet function we were in a pavilion being served local peaches and were able to stay dry. A number of people from London including Irene Vandersteen, Jean Talsma, Elly de Vries, and Ed and Lennie Lammers all drove together. There were many other local people who came to support the riders. By 4 p.m. when the celebration rally started the rain stopped and the sun came out. It was a miracle of sorts. Brian Walsh was the guest speaker. After the service all cyclists were asked to come forward for acknowledgement and a BBQ supper was served. We said goodbye to our spouses and the we boarded the buses at 6:30 back to our tent city for the night. I went to bed early as we all need to get up early tomorrow for an early start crossing into the USA.
