Greig Bell and Tour
du Canada – connecting with a great group last evening
Greig Bell and about two
dozen folk are riding their bicycles across Canada. And they are doing this in a relatively short
period of time. By August 31 they will be in St. John’s Newfoundland. They started in Vancouver June 21st
and arrived in Carrying Place (south of Trenton), Ontario last evening – August
6. That is where Alida and I caught up
with the group and had a great visit with Greig.
Greig is the dad of Zach
Bell, our amazing “Olympian Nephew”… and an amazing Canadian Cycling Competitor.
As Greig shared about his
son last evening, Zach did his latest race in London, England and was then in
Norway yesterday. Greig has a hard time keeping up with his son’s whereabouts
in the world.
Long before Zach and his
sister Jessie came into the world, Greig was into cycling. Greig and my sister
cycled from Naicam, Saskatchewan to Vancouver, B.C. – across our large Canadian
Prairie and then up and over our huge mountains in Alberta and B.C.
Now at 58 years old and
being a retired High School teacher, Greig has time on his hands and is making
it work for himself.
What an awesome idea to ride all the way across Canada. I love biking
and when I was younger I loved riding a long way on my bike. That continued until I was older… however the
distances are less and less. Ahem. Just respecting the old body and what it
says to me daily!!!
Last evening it was good sharing with Greig and catching up on all this
time we haven’t seen each other. It has
been a lot of years.
BTW we did this catching up at a Tim Horton’s donut shop in Trenton –
not at the Camp Site.
I wish Greig and his team the best as they continue on to Ottawa in two
days time… wow!
Way to go “Tour du Canada 2013”
Take a look at these photos and the description...

Supper time for the team - each night a different group cooks their food and cleans up
A truck and driver travels ahead of the team each day - to the next camp site and takes care of carrying their extra luggage etc., plus buying groceries for the next evening's meal.
Notice the refrigerator for the cold stuff
