On Thursday, Mike woke up and received breakfast from Vern Carter, and a flat tire. So Vern helped him fix his tire before Mike started out. Mike then road to Brampton where he stayed with Ross and Joice Redford. Ross is a biker who picked up on Mike's story from the Adventure Cycling Association. Ross contacted Mike some days back and told Mike to call him when he got to Brampton and he would give him a place to stay. Ross even got Mike a place to stay two days earlier with a friend of his.

Pretty flowers along the way
Today, Ross rode 20 miles with Mike. Along the way some more of the bolts on Mike's bike came off. They tend to come loose due to the rough roads he rides on sometimes. Ross decided to help him out by giving Mike a bolt from his water cage to help secure Mike's luggage rack. Mike plan's to make it to Collingwood tonight. His wife is driving up to meet him there tonight at about 10 p.m. Also, Brett Mitchell is riding up with Mike's wife and plans to ride with Mike tomorrow. Tomorrow Mike will ride to Owen Sound and finish his bike tour!
Ross helps Mike replace a bolt on his bike.
