Gilles Laurin

Travel Guide

Biography

An experienced cyclotourist, both on organized group trips and in autonomous mode, Gilles has travelled the roads of Quebec and many other parts of the country. He has been involved with Vélo Québec in a number of ways: as a coach since 2009, he leads bike-to-work workshops and prepares the next generation through the Cycliste averti program for elementary school students. This avid outdoorsman loves to share his passion for all things cycling. Gilles is a team player who thrives on fun. He adds a sense of humor to everyday life, and his joie de vivre is contagious. You'll recognize him by his infectious laugh. He's a friendly, responsible guy who takes the happiness of others to heart.

I love to listen to my senses, and cycling is the perfect way to do this. I love the feel of the wind on my skin, hearing a brook running, a bird singing, seeing magnificent landscapes, beautiful houses, small villages, smelling fields in bloom, the salty air, stopping to enjoy a picnic, talking with people from another culture. As I have an excellent sensory memory, I'm lucky enough to escape and relive these beautiful moments for a long time.
