Cross Canada Bicycle tour

My Son Graham Reid started to bicycle across Canada in late March. A little cold and wet but he is determined to do it before he starts his summer job at the end of June. My wife Julie got him a "Tim's card" so that he could get a warm coffee or something to eat as he was traveling and we would just top it up periodically. Julie was able to check the balance online and would see when he was using the card. It would tell her how much he spent and what store number it was spent at. Julie wanted to know where the stores were located and emailed Tim Horton's. They emailed her a list of stores corresponding to the numbers that were showing up online. So now as he is using the card across Canada we can see where he is by his spending on the Tim's card. It has become very useful in tracking him.... sort of like a "Tim's GPS". He's happy to get a warm coffee and a meal periodically and we're happy to see where he is in his long journey. He has won a few free cups of coffee on the Rrroll up the rim and gives them out to homeless people he meets along the way. So a big thank you to whoever in Tim Horton's passed on the list of Tim Horton's corresponding to the store numbers. Martin

Love the story! An absolutely incredible accomplishment, and to have Tim's there every step of the way from Coast to Coast! Way to go, Graham!
