Vélo Québec Voyages

Last summer I noticed a distinct increase in bikes, bicycle variety, passing through Westport & Wadhams. We have a wonderful spot for tour organizers to schedule us as a stop on routes. With a little thought and planning I believe we could also be a wonder Base Location.

Here is a link to an article in today's Plattsburgh Press Republican, Canadian bike tour to bring $1M to region. The link on the title of this post goes to The Grand Tour, to which the article refers.

Looking at the offerings on the Vélo Québec Voyages website I see they have 2 additional tours passing through Westport, these will be at the end of May and originate in Montreal, all the way to Nyack, near New York City.

Suppose as these bikers pass through we handed out something as simple as a collectable pin with our new brand logo and link to our website along with perhaps a sports drink. Perhaps we could charge some nominal amount for people wanting a souvenir water bottle with our brand.

Prominent on our website might be a link to suggested bike tours originating in Westport and accommodations. I have long wanted to see what we might do as a group to influence Amtrak to accommodate passengers wishing to bring bicycles on trips.
