We got up early and got ready for a ceremonial ride up signal hill and take pics and all that. I intended to ride up the hill, but then I didn't want to completely shatter my bike so ended up putting on runners and walked with my bike up. Good decision, because as i turned out of the parking lot i realized how steep it was and that it could have gotten ugly going up the hill.
Many went down to a pier/park to dip their wheels in the Atlantic,
but i had to opt out as i didn't want to walk all the distance and
riding was not an option. No regrets though as everyone was going to
come up the hill for completing their ride. After a lots of pictures and
heartfelt congratulatory hugs, we rode down back to hotel and got
dressed for the good bye brunch. At this point i just wanted to stay
together with the extendables (Michael, Keith, Ron, Justine and I) and
savour the moments that we had and enjoy the last few hours of
togetherness.We also learned that Trevor had taken a fall while coming
down the signal hill and was badly bruised and had been taken to
hospital. We got an update that he is OK and tests were done to make
sure nothing was broken and they weren't missing any thing.
We departed in our respective rooms to freshen up and
start packing. Ron and Keith were leaving today for their homes whereas
Justine, Michael and I had rented a car and were planning to go whale
watching. We bid Ron and Keith farewell and a few tearful hugs later we
left as our van had arrived. Meeryn and Patrick also joined us for whale
watching and everyone else went to do other things (packing, visiting
town, meeeting friends and family.
