During the TREE Fund Tour des Trees participants are encouraged to write about their experience.  Each day throughout the Tour, pictures and summaries written by different participants are posted to the Tour Rider Blog.  These daily reports keep families and friends, sponsors and donors abreast of what is happening along the Tour route.  It even offers the opportunity for those viewing the site to respond.

"Hi Dad, Jim and Mike!
Hope you are all having an amazing time and taking a moment to look around you and enjoy the scenery. It is a wonderful thing you all are doing. Enjoy the rest of your ride!"

"Way to go tour riders!! Sounds like it has been a fantastic trip so far. I love following along with the daily reports. Not nearly as much fun as being there, but it will have to do. Thinking of you all."

"Just cycling around the ravines and paths in Toronto gets my heart rate going - I’m amazed at how many miles you ride each day! It’s been great living vicariously through your cycling reports. I wish you all a great final leg to your trip! Way to go Dad, I’m so proud of you."

….."congrats on your amazing ride and for taking us along with you, on your journey!!!!"

"I enjoyed reading about the trip. Hats off to you and all of the riders for enduring the elements on this long ride. You are all an inspiration!"

"It is nice to read what all of you have been seeing and experienceing! Dad, keep up the good work, enjoy the scenery and the up and downs of the ride!"

"I miss being on the Tour with y’all this year. Ride safe, ride hard, have a great time and send photos. I will see you at the finish."

“It was a hamstring-wrenching week capped with camaraderie, friendship, cycling and the love of trees which makes for life-long memories.”
