Going strong...

An update from Jen's support crew. We are having a blast out here, following this incredible athlete...She went all the way from Cape Scott to the Strathcona Trailhead (including having to trek IN to the Cape Scott Lighthouse to get to her starting point- 23 km), in just over 24 hours. The rain has followed us along - we manage to outrun it for a short time, then it catches up with us again. Norm joined our expedition about 3:00 Monday afternoon, and has been an amazing support to Jen, keeping her spinning her wheels for km after km. She almost fell asleep at the pedal in the wee hours of this morning. But, she pushed through, and we made it to our destination in time for her to catch about 1 1/2 hours of sleep. Believe me, 5:00 am arrived early today! Up and at it once again, this time joined by Garth Campbell from Victoria.

They set out on the Strathcona Park trail about 6:30 this morning, and are expected to arrive at Mt. Washington sometime around 4:00 or so this afternoon. We're cleaning up some gear and will set off shortly to meet up with them in Paradise Meadows. Jen will get back on her bike and ride through Pt Alberni to Bamfield, where she will get on to the West Coast Trail. Man, I'm tired just typing it all out...
