2010 Tour of Tobago - Riders Needed.  Request from Chris Atkins

I’ll be supporting a composite team of Canadians for the 2010 Tour of Tobago running September 28th to October 3rd (website – www.trinbagowheelers.com).  If you’re looking to cap off your season with a real exclamation point contact me.  I’m looking to fill out a team of 6 strong S1/2 riders or top M1s.

The organizer has been very generous over the years with:

-free hotel
-free rental car
-food allowance

Really, all you have to do is get there.  Flights are currently priced at around $650 return from Toronto to Tobago.  Flying from Seattle is a cheap solution on the west coast, and is priced similarly.  We may be subject to discounts from Caribbean Air, but I have to provide head counts to them first.


What else can I say about the trip, other than what I’ve written before.  Here’s my account from a supporting role.


And here’s an account from me turning the pedals over (barely) in the race:


Since that last report the roads have all been newly paved!

Great memories and crazy stories every time I go. Also, make sure to Google Tobago to see how beautiful the island is itself.

Over the years I have attended with the following riders.  I’m sure they would be more than happy to reminisce of their experience.  If you see them on the road, get the low down.

(Peter Morse, Bruce Krip, David Fry, Joe Guilliano, Kevin Hazzard, Brandon Throop, Alex Bhogal, Darko Ficko, Trevor Connor, Jean-Michel Lachance, Jonathon Gormick, Vincent Veilleux-Lessard, Matthew O'Hagan, Chris Reid, Danielle Defrancheschi)
