With nearly 700 km’s under their wheels, the participants of the 2011 GASP tour
rolled into Humboldt. The tour began with three days of “above
average” temperatures and it was a relief on day four to be greeted with
overcast skies. Regardless of the weather, the landscape and communities
of the tour route were stunning — the blooming yellow fields of canola,
spectacular vistas along the Saskatchewan River valley, the hospitality of
Choiceland and its Mayor, the refreshment of a swim in Greenwater Lake.
Kudos to Tour Leader Bob Cochran for his leadership, attention to detail, and
communication. The unsung hero of the tour, Denise Eberle, Executive
Director of the Saskatchewan Cycling Association, puts in a lot of hours on the
tour logistics and community arrangements that are so important in making the
the tour possible. Our heartfelt thanks go out to both of you.

2011 Tour Video
Now showing on a small screen near you — GASP 2011 “The
Movie”. I had fun putting together some of the photos and video that
I captured on the trip with some music that was rattling around in my
head. This is not the official documentary of GASP but rather my
experience of the tour. You can enjoy it here.
