I am working long shifts this week again so I will try and post here some time when I get a break. Read Ardi's blog as he also rides in the winter too.<br />KevinKevin Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861625648797635131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-61941603130941978902013-08-17T22:10:21.418-07:002013-08-17T22:10:21.418-07:00Hi Kevin, as usual its interesting to read your bl...Hi Kevin, as usual its interesting to read your blog. I have recently picked up my XS in the Netherlands and cycled home with it in 5.5 days. Now i am looking at ways to find time for more long tours!<br />I am also thinking about winter cycling and was hoping you could tell me what arrangement you have with winter tyres on the quest and which width of tyres you have used?<br />all the best<br />David ScottAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843352996163991359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-26890473402692094082013-08-05T20:17:18.138-07:002013-08-05T20:17:18.138-07:00Thanks Peter,

My next adventure is going to be about our biggest century ride in Manitoba. That takes place on August 11th. I hope to shoot some video that day too.Kevin Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861625648797635131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-35847012927326487672013-08-01T14:31:53.033-07:002013-08-01T14:31:53.033-07:00Congratulations, Kevin, what an impressive achieve...Congratulations, Kevin, what an impressive achievement!

I still have relatives involved in farming living in those areas.<br /><br />Jonmarvelo.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834779030541361093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-74374526623645870522013-07-30T20:56:20.628-07:002013-07-30T20:56:20.628-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.marvelo.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834779030541361093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124163148682363032.post-88042818076586904522013-07-30T17:20:38.216-07:002013-07-30T17:20:38.216-07:00Thanks for the comments everyone.
