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”

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 allowedContinue reading “Lac Morency – Day 5 – Montreal”

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, asContinue reading “Lac Morency – Day 3 – Saint-Agathe-des-Monts to Mont-Tremblant”

Lac Morency – Day 2 -Rain

We knew rain was forecast to begin in the morning with the bulk of it early then tapering to an amount that isn’t terrible to ride in – at least that what’s the forecast said. It turned out that we should have been riding from 7am to 10 because when we arrived in Prévost asContinue reading “Lac Morency – Day 2 -Rain”

Lac Morency – Day 1 – Prévost to Saint-Agathe

Lac Morency – Travel Day

Cindy has a time share that she needed to use, and given the pandemic she did not want to travel to the US, so she looked for a cycling friendly place in Canada, and invited me to join her at the Auberge du Lac Morency north of Montreal in the Laurentians. It is only 8kmContinue reading “Lac Morency – Travel Day”
