Person 1: welcome home. Did you have a good day looking at screens at work?
Person 2: yes, my screens were good. How were your screens?
1: they were less good, so I’d like to watch something on the big screen in our house.
2: okay, but I might use my small screen while we watch.

2019 Bike Ride 9

I was up early again today, for no reason, so I jumped out of bed and went riding. First around Nun’s Island where I sat at the southern point of the island. Then across the ice control structure for the Champlain Bridge and along the strip of land between the Saint Lawrence River and the Seaway, and quickly through Parc Jean-Drapeau before heading home.

Total trip distance: 30.23 km

Moving time: 1h 33m

2019 Bike Ride 8

It was another free Bixi Sunday so I met up with someone and we biked along the Lachine Canal then down to Parc Angrignon. We walked through the park in a sun downpour that was quite refreshing in the hot afternoon. Next, we rode along the Lachine Aquaduct and down to Verdun for lunch before heading back toward home.

Total trip distance: 20.67 km
