The Beginning

Hi everyone! I'm in Vancouver right now and so very close to the start of my trip. I went straight from the airport to a reccomended bike shop (Dream Cycles), and then pretty much straight from there to a reccomended hostel (The Cambie). Both establishments are pretty awesome in my opinion. Tomorrow my bike will be ready so I'll ride around town and make sure any bugs in my bike setup get worked out before I head out of the city. I'll take some touristy snapshots and upload them if I can fine a computer with a USB port on it (This is being typed from a coin slot internet console). I miss everyone from toronto already, and got a little bit emotional on the cab ride from my house to the airport. Russel and Carey, you two will always have a couch in my heart. Special thanks to everyone who made it out to our last miniute party last night, even if you didn't stay for long!

And so it begins...

A second year without you, your Dad your brother and barley miss you so very much. Your friends do too and you would be very proud of what they are doing in Toronto in your name.
THE CHARLES PRINSEP ART INITITIVE. They are setting up a bike workshop in Regents Park to teach kids to put together and maintain bikes, also road safety. The kids will be able to keep the bike they have built.
I wish you were their to lead in person instead of just in spirit.
I love you and miss you with all my heart.

Another year has passed without you here with us we miss you so much. Here you are at the beginning of your big adventure so full of excitement , confidence and life it brims over in your descriptions. You would be so proud of your friends , I hope you are watching over them and urging them on in spirit. They have now opened a shop called Charlie's Bike Shop at Parliament and Queen where they run CharliesFreeWheels as well as mend and supply bike parts to the public at large to support your enterprise.

My darling Charlie, we all miss you so much, I think of you always and imagine what you would be doing now, where you would be , what adventures you might be having. Would you be married , would we be grandparents? Charlie's Free Wheels is still going strong. You must be so proud of the inspiration you give to these dedicated young people , your friends and Thoby have done you proud.
It is now 6 years since you started on your journey of a life time.
I miss you more than words can ever say and love you with all my heart.

11 years have past and it seems like yesterday I said goodbye to you as you set off on your long trip. I want to share so much with you. I think about you al, the time and wonder what you would be doing , where you would be living, who you would be with ,so many thoughts.
Charlie, at last we are hopefully we are to become grand parents. Blair is pregnant and they are both very happy about it as are a Dad and I.
We pray all goes well, watch over them for us, you would have made a wonderful Uncle and you are always in Thoby’s heart.
We love you and miss you with all our beings, all my love your Mum xxxooo
