Mont-Tremblant – Day 6 – St-Jovite, Sentier des Cimes, Centre des villégiature Tremblant
It was already hot by the time we were ready to ride from the apartment this morning. There are two buildings and a swimming pool on the site. The one behind us has outdoor staircases, but ours does not. We were heading for Sentier des Cimes, a tree top walk in Mont-Tremblant National Park.…

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…

Bratislava – Day 17
After breakfast together at the hotel, we decided to walk to the old town for hot chocolate. On the way we looked in the “new market” near the hotel. It was built in 1983 when the city needed a market space, because the old market had been re-purposed as studios for Slovak television. It…

Bratislava – Day 16
Today was a rest day. I’ve only biked half the distance to date this year compared to last year so the almost 150km of the last two days (18% of the total) took a toll on top of being on the go now for two weeks. It’s been a wonderful experience, and there’s still…

Bratislava – Day 15 – And Vienna
I got up at 6:30 today so I could get the train to Vienna at 8:37. The train runs hourly, and you buy a ticket to Vienna which you can use at any time. It cost €18, one way, including transporting a bike. It’s going to be another beautiful day with the temperature ranging…

Bratislava – Day 13
It was a cool and sunny this morning so I sat indoors at the hotel restaurant. At one point I was the only one there. I feel as though I’ve hardly stopped to catch my breath since I’ve gotten here, and since I had technical difficulties with the blog yesterday, and ended up a…
