Hans Eysel is moving back to Germany19 years after arriving in Canada from Heidelberg, Hans Eysel and his wife Sigrun are moving back to Germany on August 8th. Hans spent his first couple of years in Canada at the National Research Council in Ottawa and University of Alberta in Edmonton before making Winnipeg his home and becoming a part of the CCSAM (and cycling) community.
Hans skied (and ran marathons) at a very high level in Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. As a Masters 7 and Masters 8 racer in the 1990s in Manitoba, he also enjoyed significant success, including medaling at both the Worlds Masters Championships at Thunder Bay in 1996 and at Lake Placid in 1998. Many CCSAM Masters fondly remember skiing with him and competing against him.
For the past few years, Hans & Sigrun have split their time between their property just south of Birds Hill Park and their condo in the southwestern German city of Freiburg im Breisgau (on the edge of the Black Forest, only 30K from Feldberg Mountain at 1493 metres).
The Cross Country Ski Association of Manitoba and all Hans' friends in the cross country skiing community wish him many years of good health and active living in Germany.
