2023 Bike Ride 34

We got out on the bikes today with the baby using her bike blanket (micro fleece inner with a weather proof top layer) that velcros to the frame around her seat. She was toasty warm in the wind. It was a sunny day. We just went to the BaNQ and out for lunch, but still nice to get out on the bike again after more than a month.

Weekly roundup August 28 - October 1

It has been a month since the last weekly roundup (and that one may have been for two weeks). It was a busy September. I had a birthday, had way too much work in a short burst before taking a vacation. It was a good month overall.

2023 Bike Ride 33

Our first ride in a few weeks after being away on vacation. We went along the aquaduct canal to Lachine and then continued along the water to a playground in Dorval. We briefly considered continuing to Pointe-Claire village but the train schedule didn’t work for a faster return to make nap time work. Instead, we continued back along the Lachine canal.
