Learned a very relatable term today: “報復性熬夜” (revenge bedtime procrastination), a phenomenon in which people who don’t have much control over their daytime life refuse to sleep early in order to regain some sense of freedom during late night hours.

2020 Bike Ride 16

Sunday morning ride along Wellington through the series of parks along the Saint Lawrence starting at Parc Arthur-Therrien to LaSalle. Then up through the neighbourhood to the Canal de l’Aqueduc and up rue Lapierre to Saint-Patrick. This took me back to the Lachine Canal that I cannot seem to avoid riding along these days. I did go across a closed bridge where they have put in a traffic circle for the multi-use path which should be good for the junction.

Total trip distance: 19.68 km

Moving time: 1h 04m

2020 Bike Ride 15

Saturday morning ride to explore some new streets. After passing a spandex clad cyclist on the way up the hill on Atwater with my single-speed, I ended up following the Maisonneuve cycle track to Devil’s Hill then went down to Ville Saint-Pierre before taking the series of detours that is the Lachine Canal path.

Total trip distance: 21.80 km

Moving time: 1h 15m

2020 Bike Ride 14

Wednesday evening break from work before dinner. Down through Verdun and back through Côte-Saint-Paul.

Total trip distance: 13.61 km

Moving time: 0h 48m
