DAY 7 - THE HOMECOMING - ENTERED CANADA AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE AT 11:00

After leaving Lockport at 08:30 this morning, the TDL team started to head home in perfect weather conditions.   Ed Telenko was the first to welcome the team back home as he "maneuvered" to position himself on the bridge to get some great pictures.

Our TDL team day riders (Vern Dell, Barry Ireland, Paul Monaghan, Anna Maria Raimondo, Reni DeVerteuil, Kurt (?), Ziggy Krueger and Cathy Henry), family and friends of the cyclists and yours truly, gathered at Christ Church in Niagara Falls and gave the around the lakers welcomed cheers as they made their first stop in Canada.   After a brief break, and lots of hugs and kisses, all the cyclists took off towards the Niagara Parkway to begin the last 50km back to where they started.  Anticipated arrival at the Golf Club is 14:45.   Their accomplishment is truly something to be celebrated.
