Hey there, time traveller!

A cross-country tour of motor-biking military police spent the night at CFB Shilo and the riders will be the guests of honour at a public pancake breakfast first thing this morning.
The tour, which has run since 2009, is a fundraiser for the Military Police Fund for Blind Children.
Cpl. Glenda Gauthier, of the Canadian Armed Forces Military Police, is organizing the Manitoba leg of the run. The four national riders who are going coast-to-coast are flanked for each leg of the run by supporters.
Seven riders were expected to arrive in Shilo last evening, with as many as four joining up for the ride into Winnipeg.
Cpl. Huw Davies, another member of the Shilo military police detachment, is Manitoba’s ride captain. He’s riding from Dundurn, Sask., to Kenora, Ont., Gauthier said.
Indications are that fundraising is going well, Gauthier reported.
“We just got notification that B.C. has already raised over $10,000 in their province,” she said.
The group left Victoria on July 30 and is scheduled to arrive in Channel-Port aux Basques, N.L., on Aug. 22.
Tickets to the breakfast, which runs from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m, cost $5. All proceeds go to the ride’s cause.
