John & Donna Tours

Al & Denise Horning visit Cuba - Sept. 5, 2015

When Denise and I went to Cuba in early September we took a bicycle with us that we got from a man named Aubrey Foley from Port Colborne. Aubrey refurbishes donated used bikes and sends them to less fortunate people in countries like Haiti and Cuba either in bulk (via container) or with individual travellers like ourselves that are going to these destinations.

We went out in the country (far from any tourist areas) with a guy we met while there and located a small house far from any nearest town that looked like they could really take advantage of the bike. It turns out the family consisted of a husband and wife that had 2 children one of which is handicapped and in a wheelchair. It normally takes the father over an hour to walk to town but with the bike he can do it in about 20 minutes which will allow him to spend more time with his family.

I have attached a picture that Al Horning & Denise took of me approaching the house of the family we gave the bike to and (although not planned) shows me wearing my John and Donna shirt. We thought posting this picture will encourage others travelling to less fortunate countries to seek out doing something like we did to help someone less fortunate than themselves. If anyone is interested in doing the same they can get hold of me anytime and I can explain the process and give them Aubrey's contact information.

Carmen Roblin On June 5th, 2015

I rode from Welland to the Copper Head Motorcycle Resort in Blainsville, Georgia to join 32 members of Orlando H.O.G.® for six days of riding in the Smokey and Blue Ridge Mountains in Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia. We rode the Gauntlet - it took 5 hours - what a ride! The photos attached were taken at Devil's Gap where we rode the Dragon - what an exercise in how to use all your energy - but fun was had by all. We happened to arrive at the Dragon on a day when a large Suzuki motorcycle rally was being held - 2,200 crotch rockets all trying to prove who could do the Dragon the fastest. All we needed to do was stay out of their way! Anyway, I'm sure John and Donna have seen it all before!
