2024 Bike Ride 15
02 June 2024Tour de l’île today, so we got up and rode up to Park/Pins for the start. The ride took us up Park through Outremont, along the edge of NDG, through Westmount briefly before heading over to Parc Angrignon, followed by the edge of Lachine, through LaSalle and ultimately up Berri to Parc Jeanne-Mance. There were 18000 people participating in the ride so everywhere we went we had 50 of our new friends around us. It was a good ride. We all had to walk our bikes down Landsdowne because it was a bit steep for such a large group to handle at the same time.
We rode on a lot of roads where I haven’t been outside the bike lane much before. I also hadn’t passed behind Mont-Royal so far south. All my previous rides behind Mont-Royal took me way up to the top of the island or in Laval. There was another new section near Parc Angrignon going back up toward the Lachine Canal.
Total trip distance: 58.03 km
Moving time: 3h57m

31 May 2024A bit of logistics riding today on Doris’s e-bike after dropping the child off at the circus and later returning a book to the library. The e-bike is a Trek FX+ 2 and it rides really nicely. For the first few kilometers, I did not even have the pedal assist on. It is significantly lighter than my Kombi, which is not surprising.
Total trip distance: 6.8 km
