This week my wife had our baby so it was a wonderful week. We didn’t sleep enough, but we did get to meet our beautiful baby and spend all the time together figuring out what we are supposed to be doing now. Needless to say, things may slow down here for a bit.
I did read a few things last Sunday while waiting for a COVID test result (negative).

One more nice day for a ride. Down to Verdun, up through LaSalle and back toward home on many new streets. I even took the pedestrian/cycle path in the Saint-Rémi tunnel.
Total trip distance: 15.59 km
Moving time: 0h 57m
Zoomed in image with a couple new streets which were filled with auto shops up near the aquaduct and water treatment plant.

I got fed up with my chain jumping off as I rode so I dropped into the bike shop at Saint Columba House. The helpful man there checked my chain and replaced a worn bolt. He declared that while the chain was old, it still had life in it so he improved the tension and sent me on my way. It worked out well on this test ride and the chain didn’t jump off any of the rough road spots where it had been the last few rides.
It was a chilly day, but I took a couple new streets and the ride was good.
Total trip distance: 7.66 km
Moving time: 0h 30m
