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 decidedContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 10”

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”

Mont-Tremblant – Day 1-3 – And Cornwall

Cindy and I are heading out to complete the P’Tit Train du Nord, which is the 232 km, one way section, of the Route Vert 2 in Quebec. 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”

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 didContinue reading “Cornwall and Lac Morency -Day 6”

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. TheContinue reading “Cornwall and Lac Morency – Day 5”

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 trailContinue reading “Cornwall and Lac Morency – Day 4”

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 anContinue reading “Cornwall and Lac Morency – Day 3”
