The latest on Mel and Sachi is that they are resting their bodies back in Victoria due to the strain and pain of the trip. Both of them had knee problems and had difficulty moving their legs at the knees. If you know either of them at all, you would understand this decision is the last decision they wanted to make as their commitment to this has already been displayed through the time, money, planning, and effort undertaking this ride. As they described to me, "their bodies quit before their will".
They would like you all to know they plan to finish the total kilometers they originally planned on riding from Winnipeg to Thetis here on Vancouver Island. Not many people their age commit themselves so wholly to anything these days that this has been an encouragement and statement to many. Thank-you Mel and Sachi! We hope for a speedy recovery so you may return to riding your bikes...stay tuned for pictures.
