Ryder,

Congratulations on an amazing tour! 

Cheers,

Ryder:

Glad to be Canadian.  Really enjoyed watching your Tour.

awesome Job keep it up, it was fantastic watching you race !

Hey Ryder,

Fantastic job!  I hope it was a thrilling experience.

Since your rise to fame, I've had a million inquiries as to our relation - is there any?  I'm a Heshedahl... my aunt has done extensive family research and I don't think there are many of 'us' in North America.  I know that our family name was changed from Hesjedal to Heshedahl at some point relatively recently.  It would be fun to make some connection if there is any.

Best wishes for what the future holds for you and yours.  It would be great to be in touch... I live in Silverton, BC.

Best,

Kevin

Bravo Ryder from all of us Canadians! You made us proud to be a Canadian for the last 3 weeks at the Tour (+ all year round of course!). Pushing your limits physically and mentally is an amazing feast. You deserve a lot more credits in our country as a professional athlete but be aware that there are lots of us that watches you on a regular basis and cheers for you!

Dream high and keep going!

Wow. What more can you say.  I remember after Stage 3 hearing Phil and Paul say you wouldn't be in the top ten long.  

Your grit, work and perseverance make me proud to ride a bike and proud to be Canadian.

Congratulations Ryder.  All the best.  We'll be watching closely in the Vuelta.

From your Goderich ON cheering section.

Well done Ryder. What an accomplishment! Will be watching you in next year's Tour for sure.

Cheers

Ryder, I would like to support you in the next Tour De France to be the first Canadian to win it.

Please contact me as soon as possible. 

Simply amazing! What a great performance at the 2010 Tour De France. You made all of Canada proud of your great placing in such a tough race. I can't wait to cheer you on again next year! Awesome job!!!

We're so happy for you here in Victoria, Ryder! The moment when you emerged from the mists to take 4th on the Tourmalet was highlight of the Tour for me and for many others. I look forward to seeing you in yellow next year!!!

Truly inspiring.  Congratulations Ryder! Well Done.

Congratulations Ryder.  What an inspiring accomplishment.  It was thrilling to watch you compete and perform.  Thank you !

Hey Ryder

We've been watching the tour for years, and have had fun watching all of the riders.   This year we had more than fun, we had pride!  We cheered you all the way, and yes we shouted when you came out of the mist on the Col du Tourmalet!  Thanks for making the tour extra special and for being such a class act!

Just wanted to say thanks for an amazing performance.  I'm thrilled Canadians are back in the race and making waves!

Congrats and good luck with Garmin over the next couple of years!
