Another transit strike day with “rush hour” service. We had a show to see at L’Illusion on St-Denis called “Les petites géométries”. It was a great show and Fernanda loved it. However, it was at 3pm, so transit couldn’t get us there in time but could take us home. I rode with Fernanda on my boke up there. Thankfully, she was able to take the metro home with Doris because it had really started to snow while we were in the show and the ride home was slippery. It took me nearly as long to get down from the Plateau alone as it had to ride up there with a child on my bike.
Another transit strike Saturday, but with “rush hour” service. However, we didn’t use transit because it only ever was available at one end of our trip. First up was flamenco class, then Costco, and finally dinner at Leméac. It was a cool day for riding, but mostly sunny. Dinner was really delicious and with good company.
I rode on a couple new streets up near Laurier on the way back to avoid construction on Parc.
Total trip distance: 21.38 km
Moving time: 1h28m

Normal Costco run with an added trip to St Henri for sandwiches at Miette, a stop at Mollo, picking up a few things at the hardware store, a stop at the library, and seeing the jets (from the CFL game) fly over the canal.
Sunday adventure from a picnic near Monk, up through NDG to Outremont. We explored Outremont, had coffee and snacks at Fernanda on Bernard before heading home.
I had new segments along the north side of Mont-Royal, in Outremont, on the new path on St-Urbain from Bernard.
