Adventures of the VeloTramp

Members Update

November 1, 2014 by Pierre Leave a Comment

Hey everybody. Well, it’s been a week back in St John’s and I finally saw some sun yesterday. That was a nice change. Unfortunately today we are right back to the regular old mess of rain and cold. Ah, well. It is what it is. Nobody has ever moved to Newfoundland for the weather. Anyway, I am writing to you today to give everybody an update of what’s been happening and what will be happening in the coming days regarding the rewards that you are entitled to with the package you purchased.

Photos and ePhoto Book

First up is the photos. For those of you who purchased a package that included an 8×12 print, I will have a 20 photo gallery fully edited and placed on the website as of Monday morning(many of you may not realize but the majority of posted photos so far are straight from camera and have not been edited). You will all get a notification once the gallery is posted and it is from here that you can choose the print you want. Send a message to my Facebook inbox with the caption or number of the one you choose. Also, the 20 photos in the final gallery  will comprise the ePhotobook to which you are all entitled and that will be sent via Facebook or email and will be sent to all of you by end of business Tuesday. The eBook will be in a printable PDF form so if you should decide you want a physical copy you can get one. If your favorite photo is not in the gallery, contact me and I will prepare it for you.

Photo Sessions

Then there are the photo sessions. Remember that if you purchased a $40 package you are entitled to a 30 minute session and for $75 it was a one hour session. I will contact all of you that are eligible in the next few days so that we can book a time. One thing to keep in mind is that if you would rather not have photos of yourself taken, I can photograph something else for you such as some event or other or a specific place as long as it’s within a reasonable distance. For those of you who are eligible for a photography session but live too far from me I have some options for you and will message you individually with these.

Future Posts on the Blog

Just because the Cape Breton adventure is over doesn’t mean that the blog will be silent nor is your membership to the VeloTramp Project nullified. It will remain and you will continue to receive notifications via the members Facebook page. This will include updates regarding upcoming VeloTramp events, promotions, and exclusive membership offers and photos etc. I hope you will all stick around and join me as we see the VeloTramp Project develop and grow.

In addition I am setting a schedule for posts for the blog. For starters I am planning one written post and one photo post per week. This schedule is for times like now when I am not travelling. Posts will increase in number and frequency during times of travel.

 

Cheers,

What Does VeloTramp Mean?

The VeloTramp in action

Yesterday at approxiamately 1030 a.m., the VeloTramp was born. A lot of people give me weird looks and raised eyebrows when they ask about the word VeloTramp. So, I want to make sure that at least you, my little group of followers, know what it means. Well, the word velo means bicycle and tramp means to wander from place to place. Thus, VeloTramp means bicycle wanderer. A title that well suits my personality.

 

More than that VeloTramp represents the unconquerable power of dreams and hope. I believe that when these things exist, there is nothing that we or anyone else can do to fully take them fully away. Something of it will always remain with us and if we nurture that remnant it can be restored. That’s kind of what happened with me. When I was in high school all I wanted to do was ride bike and write. And even though my life has taken me in many different directions some shred of the dream of riding and writing have always stayed with me, recently bursting out of the dark cell in which they had been locked.

So that is VeloTramp. I want to thank all of you for supporting me in this resurrection of my dream. I hope you enjoy riding with me.

Hey, I'm Pierre. I am a restless spirit who has been fighting migratory instincts twice annually for as long as I can remember and in doing so have lived much of my life as a square peg in a round hole. So, now I am about to embark upon a journey of a different sort. I am searching for a square hole.
