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 decidedContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 10”

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 sawContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 9 – Ottawa”
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 asContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 8 – Ottawa”
Mont-Tremblant – Day 7 – St-Jovite, Montebello, and Ottawa
We packed everything up, loaded the car, drove to the sister resort to return our keys, and then parked in a the shady spot in Mont-Tremblant Village. It was already 25° and we were driving to Ottawa today so, we decided to just ride back to St-Jovite for a coffee, and to experience an enjoyableContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 7 – St-Jovite, Montebello, and Ottawa”
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. ItContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 6 – St-Jovite, Sentier des Cimes, Centre des villégiature Tremblant”
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. ThenContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 5 – Guérette to Mont-Laurier”
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 yet.Continue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 4 – Nominingue to Guérette”

On the way, we will be stopping at my cousins’ in Cornwall, and on the way back, we will be stopping in Ottawa. Last fall on theContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 1-3 – And Cornwall”
