I decided to have a less active day today and didn’t set an alarm, but woke shortly after 8 AM, anyway. I brought a latte up to the room after breakfast, relaxed in the room, and didn’t head out until nearly 11:30. My goal was to explore a modern part of the city near theContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 6”

Bratislava 2 – Day 5
What an absolutely exceptional day I had today. I set my alarm for 8 AM, dressed in my cycling gear, and went down to the luggage room to bring the bike up to the room. I installed a bike seat that I know is comfortable that I brought from home, my lights and a barContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 5”
Bratislava 2 – Day 4
We had another late breakfast, and then walked to the Schokocafe Maximilian for hot chocolate that is more like fondue than what we call hot chocolate in Canada. It was delicious. This will be my motto for the next couple weeks. I’ve only been seeing one or two bike, share bikes per docking station, soContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 4”
Bratislava 2 – Day 3
I was in bed for 11 hours, but unfortunately didn’t sleep for all that, as I had a migraine that woke me and persisted despite medication for a few hours, but then I slept well, and woke refreshed. We had an excellent breakfast in the hotel, which is included in the room rate. They haveContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 3”
Bratislava 2 – Day 1&2
This is Michael’s 11th, and my second, trip to Bratislava. My first trip was in April of this year. It started poorly with the limo not arriving, and Cindy coming to the rescue to drive us to the airport in our car. This time we ordered a taxi and it was in the driveway aContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 1&2”
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
The day started cool, but beautifully sunny, with light streaming into our accommodation. We made and ate breakfast, and then drove the narrow hilly road 8km to the P’Tit Train du Nord in Prévost. Here we are ready to leave Auberge du lac Morency, bikes loaded. There is plentiful free parking at many places alongContinue reading “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”
