2023 Bike Ride 21

Family ride up to Monkland Village and Hampstead. I got my bike tuned up this week so the brakes were much better today. The gear shifting was better but not quite ideal yet, so more tweaking to do. We even visited a new playground.

Total trip distance: 20.90 km

Moving time: 1h 40m

2023 Bike Ride 20

A beautiful Sunday morning for another ride up to Vieux-Rosemont. This time with the whole family. We explored new streets and admired the old houses mixed with newer row houses. We even stopped at a playground that had both shade and not sand. Before heading home we got delicious croissants from Miche & carré (2216 Bd Rosemont), but they sadly do not have their apparently delicious pizza on weekends.

Total trip distance: 25.59 km

Moving time: 2h 08m
