  • Cornwall and Lac Morency -Day 6

    The day dawned with bright sunshine, but cold and ranged from -3° to a high of 7°. We didn’t rush to leave hoping that by the time we started riding in Prévost it would have warmed up a bit. I offered Cindy the opportunity to ride from the resort to Prévost today, as I…

  • Cornwall and Lac Morency – Day 5

    The weather dawned sunny, but much colder than the days we had experienced so far, closer to seasonal norms, but still warmer than we encountered last year. The temperature ranged from 4° to 8° rather than the long-term forecast which had led us to expect 10° to 16° today and much cooler after today.…

  • Cornwall and Lac Morency – Day 4

    Last night when we checked the weather we found we had one more day of warm temperatures, and then rain and temperatures closer to seasonal norms for the rest of our stay. On our 2021 visit we had gotten to kilometre marker 92 on the P’Tit Train du Nord which is Mont-Tremblant Village. The…

  • Cornwall and Lac Morency – Day 3

    After a hearty breakfast of oatmeal and eggs on toast, with lots of coffee, we packed up the car and set off for Bois-des-Filion. Laurie had to rush out for a physiotherapy appointment, but Bruce was on hand to see us off. The first 401 offramp after we left Cornwall was the site of…

    Our route for the day was to ride along the Waterfront Trail, west to Long Sault where we left off yesterday, then return to Cornwall to see the waterfront park, and a local conservation area as recommended Laurie. She also reviewed the route and made some improvements to it based on her excellent local…

    Cindy and I enjoyed the P’Tit Train du Nord and The Laurentians so much last year that we decided to go again. We booked four nights at Lac Morency, where Cindy can use her timeshare credits, and arranged to stop for two nights, en route, in Cornwall, with my cousin Laurie, and her husband…

  • Peterborough and the Kawarthas Cycling Odyssey – Day 7

    Our final day seemed to arrive so quickly even though, at the beginning the week it seemed like we had so much time stretching ahead of us. It was so cold today, 3° Celsius, that Wayne had to put on sleeves! The rest of us lawyered up for warmth. We had breakfast, packed our…

  • Peterborough and the Kawarthas Cycling Odyssey Day 6

    We decided to try a ride in Northumberland County today which was shared on their cycling website. We knew it was going to be a cold day, but weren’t expecting rain. Unfortunately, the rain which was forecast but didn’t happen yesterday, happened today. We drove half an hour to the beginning of the ride…

  • Peterborough and the Kawarthas Cycling Odyssey – Day 5

    Weather forecasts, even short term ones, are becoming increasingly unreliable. Last night, the forecast was showing a strong threat of thunderstorms, and the possibility of tornadoes developing by mid afternoon, so we chose the 65 km Hills, Views and Pastries route 3A to ride today, and planned to leave no later than 9am, to…
