Awesome Bike Ride Dudes!

Thank you everyone back home who took part in the sponsored cycle ride for Daniel, it was a tremendous effort by all you cyclists and helpers, and it looks like you even managed to enjoy yourselves a bit. Thank you very much Graham for pulling it together, much appreciated, and it was good to be able to see some photos Wayne.
Here Daniel is more comfortable for longer periods in his wheelchair now and with no hospital visits it was a chance to get out and about. We went into the Downtown area on Saturday morning to see the St.Louis version of the Race for Life, here they call it Run for the Cure, and it was quite a spectacle with 71,000 participants.
On Sunday we visited the City Museum, which actually has a tiny area devoted to traditional museum type features and the rest is mainly a children's play ground. Our favourite area was the aquarium that also featured plenty of other animals as well as fish. Daniel managed to tap on a terrapin, scare a guinea pig, and have his hand gently nibbled by a shoal of two inch long Doctor fish.
