Hi guys!

I'm going to be on the winter wanderer tour starting Oct 31st 09 too! I am 26 years old and am coming from Canada (Quebec). I am happy we can talk before the trip. You can easily find me on Facebook. I would be glad to get to know you more. My name is Émilie Gibeau. I think I am the only one on Facebook, but you can make sure you found the right person by looking at the profile picture. It is an old picture of Batman ("Batman" is my nickname!).

With regards to the trip, I will be arriving London on oct. 30th at 8AM. If I can, I would like to spend the day doing the "Fat Tire Bike Tour". If anyone wants to join me, you can find the information at http://fattirebiketours.com/lo...ours/london-day-bike

Talk to you soon!

Emilie
