Mont-Tremblant – Day 10
We packed and took it down to the car. Fortunately, we had an elevator to take us down from the 12th floor. It’s always easier to pack to go home – no choices about what to pack and, when you have brought food, if you’ve planned correctly, you have eaten most of it. We…

Mont-Tremblant – Day 9 – Ottawa
Apologies dear readers for leaving yesterday’s blog on a cliffhanger and taking a few days to write today’s. We decided to take a walk before breakfast, to retrace last night’s walk, to try to find Cindy‘s key card. The first place we stopped was the bridge on Laurier Avenue over the canal where I…

Mont-Tremblant – Day 8 – Ottawa
The heat wave was forecast to continue so we planned to do a 14 km ride I found on the “Ottawa Rural Routes” Ride with GPS account, followed by a visit to the air conditioned comfort of the National Gallery of Art. I love the spiral staircase at Laurier Avenue. We turned too soon…

Mont-Tremblant – Day 5 – Guérette to Mont-Laurier
The day began with a flat tire for me, caused by breaking the valve when I tried to pump the tire up. Fortunately, it happened in the apartment and I was able to replace the tube relatively quickly. After breakfast in the apartment, we picked up lattes at a different café in the village.…

Mont-Tremblant – Day 4 – Nominingue to Guérette
We had breakfast in the apartment, then drove to the other resort to check in, then to a coffee shop Mont-Tremblant Village to get lattes to drink while we drove to Nominingue, which is the northernmost point to which we cycled to last fall. I get the sense that the trail hasn’t officially opened…
