Jeff Martens: Third times a Charm

What a great ride! All 600 km. It is truly remarkable that a team of 23 riders all managed the long, painful, yet rewarding tour. As the team rolled along highway #2 there was singing, argueing, laughing, and everything all over again. You really develop a special relationship with fellow riders as you grind your teeth through 125 kms, pump your legs over 165kms, torture your muscles and mind for 200kms, and punish your behind on Quebec roads for the final 130kms. Team 2 road like champs, at average speeds in the low 30s, and drafted like a peleton of racers! It was a tremendous pleasure riding with all of you and getting to know you better. I look forward to my fourth tour. Cheers Team!

Team 2:
Schwanzie- Don
Colonel- Gary
Capitano- Les
Asbestos Bullet- Annie
La Pump- Myriam
Flame- Serge
Piston- Dom
Yours Truly, Jeff
