Where's Garis?

This was the question on everyone's lips as we assembled in Alma, Quebec, from where we began our ride. Garis, it seems, has made an impression on all of us for several reasons: some recalled Garis Gadget on an Orient Express talent night; some desperately wanted his advice about bike issues; and others just plain wanted to say hello.

Some of the people saying 'Hello Garis!'
Bill says 'Hello Garis!' too.


We also missed Garis on our Via Rail journey from Montreal to Hebertville. Slated for an 8.15 departure we expected to arrive at about 4.30 to ride the remiaing 10 or so kms to Alma to meet everyone. As it turned out there was train trouble. And again, Garis was missed!

Garis advising the Czech train staff about pantogrpahs and other things rail-related. He's explaining to Karen  when this was taken.


So Garis, if you're reading this, know that you are a valuable team member in this odd-bod bike riding fraternity that we have collected around us.

Noted! What else can I say?

I am in the mood for walking again.

I have booked my tickets to Italy and will start walking from Aosta about 17th August.
