GASP Tour 2009

The Great Annual Saskatchewan Pedal (GASP) takes place July 18 – 25.

The 2009 tour route begins and ends in Saskatoon, and passes through Biggar, Wilkie, Battleford, Unity, Kerrobert, Herschel, Rosetown and Outlook. The eight-day trip, organized by the Saskatchewan Cycling Association, explores a different area of the province each year. This is the first time we've had an organized tour through this part of the province.

The annual tour is designed around opportunities to experience the scenery, culture and history of Saskatchewan. The pace is leisurely. The itinerary includes visits to local attractions and events. A support vehicle carries cyclists’ gear.

In addition to drawing cyclists who return to the tour each year, the event also provides an opportunity to introduce bicycle touring to those who have never tried it before. The trip is organized as an affordable vacation. The GASP 2009 trip is limited to 50 participants. Last year, the cyclists toured the Qu’Appelle Valley between Fort Qu’Appelle and Tantallon.
