We met legendary Canadian cyclist Jocelyn Lovell and Neil on our way back into Toronto on our day one ride. It seemed a fitting send off to have a "good luck" from THE MAN of cycling.
It was my honor to have met him and I will treasure the memory of sitting in his back yard looking at the lake and listening to "War stories" of the glory days of Canadian cycling in the Seventies.
I hope that future cyclists will learn about him and take inspiration from him and return Canada once again to being a cycling powerhouse. I know we can do it.
