Tour De Jasper 2013 - Day 1

First day of Tour De Jasper

Another year of Tour De Jasper has come and gone.  I was so happy to get the chance to ride with the tour again.  This was my fourth year in a row riding on the tour.  I volunteered again to be the sweep, which basically meant making sure that no one was left behind. This is a relaxing tour, it's a great way to get into bicycle touring.  They carry all your gear, feed you very well, and there is a mechanic on duty.  It is not a race, so you really can enjoy the scenery all around you!

Chillout before Amazing Adventure #1

 

Today is the last day before Amazing Adventure #1!  Tour De Jasper will be a relatively short trip, but lot's of fun!  I tried to 'relax' today, but it was more like an anxious relax.  One of my snowshoe buddies invited me out for a pre-birthday celebration at Ohh Chocolat!  Which, coincidentally, my Amazing Race buddy, Peter, designed their web-page for.

Just passing time

I love holidays!  Mine just begun the other day and I've taken the chance to rest for them to prepare for the active adventures ahead.  Today, I was feeling much too lazy.  Since the sun was out and it was warm again, I wanted to get outside to enjoy it!

Pride weekend

This past weekend, there was a lot going on.  There was the BMO Art Days, the usual Farmer's Market, and the Pride Parade.

Yet another exciting Opportunity!

It seems that a lot of amazing opportunities seems to always come my way!  I've been published quite a few times in recent years, and I had a chance to apply for the Amazing Race earlier this year.

Well, another exciting opportunity has recently come my way!  Destination BC (formally Tourism BC) has offered me a chance to blog on their website for a year.  Since I already do that here and on the Caledonia Ramblers website, I couldn't refuse the offer!  It means that I will be kept even more busy posting on another blog, but at the same time, I would be doing something that I am already doing.  I am very excited about this opportunity to show people from around the world how awesome British Columbia, and in particular, the North Central part of the province is!

This blog will be a collaborative effort from a group of bloggers from all over the province.  Even so, I feel flattered to be offered the contract.  I hope that you check out the blog when it goes live next week.
