Aug 5, 2010 Newspaper Article in Mississsippi Mills

On Aug 5, 2010 there was an article on the Your Ottawa Region dot com site (http://www.yourottawaregion.com/news/news/article/856799). Desmond Devoy wrote about a trio of cyclists travelling across Canada. They were in Mississippi Mills at the time the article was written. The trio, Steve Tosh, and Scott and Kelsey Smithson talked about their journey. They also mentioned a few people they met along the way, including Sokichi Takashita.

They have met fellow travellers along the road who are as varied as the terrain they covered. They met two young women from The Netherlands – a country known for cycling – who were pedalling across Canada, as well as a Japanese man who was pushing a shopping cart, decked out in Japanese flags, who was walking from Victoria, BC, to New York City.
“We stopped and took pictures of each other,” recalled Tosh.
