Hi. I’m creeping the net looking for opportunities to spread the word about The RIde TO Conquer Cancer and your name and blog keep popping up so… I thought I’d introduce myself – hello, I’m Calah and if you’d like to know more about the ride and/or assist me in getting the word out to fellow cyclists and riders who would like to make a difference and raise funds for cancer research, get back to me at calah@cogeco.ca. Thanks for the time and read.

Sorry Mary. I’m in the dark for movie night so far, too. I am volunteering again but not for choosing the films, I’m just doing tech for one venue again.

I see that you wrote about some of the films shown at the 2008 Festival of Moving Media. I have been unable to find out anything about this year’s program. All links lead to the 2008 program and a short mention of the 2009 one with some links. I have sent a query to the webmaster, but I wondered if you could provide any info.

I wonder if you can imagine the relief I felt when the right toe nail finally came off this week (on Tuesday)? I had to be careful with clothes, getting into bed, of other’s straying feet! There’s a small toenail growing under it: the body is an incredible machine that replaces itself most efficiently and wonderously!

My point with the title was that I did the trip for a lot less than if I outfitted myself with the latest and best equipment. There was no set budget. And, of course, all the money spent on my bike is still with me as I’m still using it for my daily commute to work.

I had intended to eat heavy on the protein side but I didn’t spend a lot on food. I ate granola bars for breakfast and sometime lunch too. I did splurge on a hot meal for supper but I wasn’t all that hungry: usually between $15 and $25. I was thirsty. I drank a lot of my powerade and water with a definite preference for water. I biked through a lot of parks on the way but the only ones I saw drinking fountains in were in Quebec. Those were life savers!

If I had taken the train or the bus to Montreal I would still have spent roughly the same amount of money on food.

When I was in Montreal I ate less. There was a supermarket close to the Palais and I went there to buy a drink, an apple and some cheese and more granola bars. I practically lived on the new Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Dark Chocolate bars.

You went into quite a bit of detail on how much you spent for the bike and accessories, but I’d like to know how much you budgeted for meals, and if you were over or under budget at the end?
