Thanks

Hey Devon how was the trip to Fredericton, Good I hope though I watched as the wind blew all day. I hope it was at your back! Thanks for including our home on your progress across Canada. It was our pleasure to have you here. You are a very impressive young man. You have succeeded in a lot of things that most people will never in a lifetime be able to do. Your family and your community must be very proud of you. I'm glad Alissa got to know you and spend 7 months with you. You alone make a lot of peoples days a little brighter. Good Luck on the rest of your journey! I know you will achieve great things. Maybe some day our paths will cross again.

Hey Devon, I am just at work looking at your website and I must say you are making GREAT progress toward the East of Canada, holy, soon enough you'll be here! I'm definitely excited for you to visit me, but I guess you'll be seeing Heather first out of us all right? I liked seeing your pictures, I just thought I'd let you know I'm keeping myself updated with your webpage. PS do you know how long you'll be staying here for? I'll try and plan some things to do once I have more details.Becky and Maxime are visiting in a few days, they'll be biking some here too I'm pretty sure.Anyways have a good one, stay rested, chin up. See ya, Leah

So proud of ya....

Hey Devon....Just wanted to say a quick hello and I hope that all is going well. Never did get a chance to go to your send-off bbq fundraiser. Weekend was way too busy, but I hope all is going incredibly well!!!It's definitely an inspiration to others to do the same or even better yet to understand the importance of what you are doing! Good on you Devon!!!It's always nice to see the youth doing something to make a difference in this world that we live in, because let's face it, its those people like you that are going to be needed to change the face of youth and make sure that they know things will only change with the steps towards change....rather then waiting for someone else to do it for you, you need to take the situation in your own hands and make that difference.Will continue to watch your incredible journey.~Shawna M

Prairie Cruisin'

Way to make it over the first BIG hill! I bet you're looking forward to rippin' off 120 km days on the flat, straight roads of the prairies. May the wind always been at your back. I'm just over two weeks until I take off on my own tour. Finger surgery has made the training and the prospect of the execution of this tour tricky. I hope you keep having fun and never get sick of the music on your iPod. How's that Tarn 2, by the way? I've gone the exact same one.

Devon. I think what you are doing is a wonderful thing. It's making me think of what I could possibly do to even help one person. I can't wait to see you when you get to Regina!! Let me know a day or two ahead and then I will see if you can stay at my grandparents house or my aunts house so it will be even cheaper for you.

suggestions

hey devon, so i have some suggestions for ya for your ride journal i actually have people asking about you at the store (Geraco) wanting to know where you are. It would be most helpful if you did headers like the date(which you already have i know..) for each day how far you went from where to where cause that is what everyone is really interested in and it is kinda vague especially in your last entry. Good work on keeping the journal updated :) its great to here about all your adventures.best of luck keep on truckin ahahnicole

You will have a life altering trip in many ways. Have you thought of bringing some youth with you? I will be checking back as your tour progresses. It would be sort of fun for you to write reports on equipment failures if any occur along your route.

My buddy! I can't believe it still. You told me in the bar months before taking on this expedition. And now, you are going places! Taking personal challenges and step it up for the community and regions that we love. I am happy to come from the area's of hazleton. And i'm happy to be in the same school and classes with devon growing up. He's been an ambitious guy and he says's he'S going to do things and I know HE WILL! thanks you devon for doing this for the youth!

no scam

no scam sir. I'm raising money for the youth in Hazelton BC. A youth is, generally, 6-25 years old. Personally, I don't like to put a number on it. Devon Flynn, myself, is indeed a youth. 20 years old at that. If you feel youthful, I'm sure you could join in the activities I'm trying to promote. This is not a scam. I can truthfully tell you, I've tried to get partnerships with different organizations with similar interests, and they all support me, however, it has proved difficult to get corporate backing. I'm a man of my word. I get none of this money I raise. It is all going back into the community I come from.

Scam?

Is this money really going to youth? what youth? who's a youth? Is Devon Flynn a youth? I'm 63 years old and I feel youthful, do I get some? Or is this a scam?
