Meet Some of the Riders

This is Ron (from Toronto), the fearless marshal of the group that Peter rode with.   Ron lead the group his calm but supportive presence, encouraging and challenging riders around the Cabot Trail.














Meet Bob, who joined us from Woodstock.  Easygoing and quick with a smile, Bob approached Peter during the first morning of the ride and the two quickly became friends and riding partners.

Michelle and Jeremy joined us from Montreal.  Together with Patrick and Johanne, they formed team Desjardins, one of a number of teams entered in this Tour.
Jeremy and Michelle showed their humour, when after Jeremy's tire blew for the second time in three days, they each teased each other about being bad luck.

Remi joined us from Moncton. Although new to riding, he was a power house on the Cabot Trail. At one point, as Remi was leading the group, Ron asked him to slow down, because he was going too fast for some riders.
Remi's wife worked as a volunteer for this event, while also watching their two young children.

Ron an accomplished rider he also acted as a marshal for this event. His quick wit put everyone at ease. If you meet Ron, bring caramels!

Keith is originally from Sudbury but now resides in Mississauga.   A skilled rider with plenty of experience riding in the Tour of Kids,Keith was usually found near the front of the pack.

At seventy years old Franz was one of the more senior riders on this Tour.  He moved to Canada from Germany and now resides in Nova Scotia. A tough rider, he conquered the Cabot Trail in fine style, easily biking with men much younger than he. He quickly won our admiration.  Franz rode with his son Stephen.
