  • New York City – Day 7

    When I opened the curtains this morning I could only see a few blocks due to thick fog. Last night when I went to sleep rain was forecast for the day today, but by the time I finished breakfast the fog was clearing and there was no longer rain in the forecast. We took…

  • New York City – Day 6

    The day dawned bright and sunny with the promise of a warm spring afternoon despite the fact that it’s still winter. I had breakfast in the room, but today Michael took the day off work, so I got to play tour guide with my newfound New York knowledge. We took the subway to The…

  • New York City – Day 5

    I had hoped that the weather forecast would prove to be wrong, but when I opened the curtains this morning I couldn’t see the river. It was overcast and the street was wet. I couldn’t tell from the 31st floor whether or not it was raining. I spent some time trying to motivate myself…

  • New York City – Day 4

    I had breakfast in the room again today, and then grabbed my coffee in the hotel market, and took it over to Pershing Square where I could see Grand Central Station while I drank it. I then walked to the bike share station and borrowed a bike to ride to the High Line. I…

  • New York City – Day 3

    I started the day with breakfast in the room consisting of the raspberries that I bought on the street yesterday, oatmeal from the hotel shop, and tea made with the kettle and tea bags provided by the front desk. I decided that I would walk down 42nd St. past Bryant Park, to Broadway, explore…

  • New York City – Day 2

    Michael was extremely quiet getting up and getting ready for work this morning and I didn’t week until he closed the door to leave just before eight. I open to be graded with a beautiful, bright and sunny, busy morning, full of buildings, vehicles honking, and pedestrians hurrying. I noticed the East River and…

  • Lac Morency – Day 5 – Montreal

    Sadly, our time in Lac Morency came to a close this morning, but at least we had a day of riding in Montreal to anticipate. The drive to Montreal was about an hour. Then the drive home was six hours plus stopping time. We still had groceries remaining, that we brought with us, that…

  • Lac Morency – Day 4 – Prévost to Blaineville

    It was minus one when we got up so we decided to relax a bit before heading out in the hope that the sun would come out and warm up the day. We headed south from Prévost. Only the first 3 or 4km were on grit today, with the rest paved. It was cold,…

  • Lac Morency – Day 3 – Saint-Agathe-des-Monts to Mont-Tremblant

    We decided to get an earlier start today since we had a 35 minute drive to Saint-Agathe-des-Monts, the turnaround point on our ride two days ago. We actually drove away a few minutes before the aspirational leaving time. It wasnt raining when we left, and the forecast was only 30% chance of rain, however,…
