After a week of exploring some rural La Belle Province,
we've transferred to Montreal for a little urban touring.
We found the city to have it up and downs.
This city makes it fun (and evidently practical) to ride.
We will end up riding in excess of seventy kilometres and never ever being close to leaving the core.
Hot laps.
(Where Montreal meets for some smokin'...)
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Isle Notre Dame.
The track is open 24/7 for recreational use,
except hopefully one day, one year, cars will use it again.
Pit stop.
Parc Olympic.
The BioDome that was orginally the velodrome.
Here's a legacy:
The track that they are building in Bromont apparently is budgeted for $22million.
In the '70's this facility, and just this facility, was reportedly built for $140million, with overuns.
The legacy is apparently still being enjoyed by the
Bank of Montreal.
In the forground is Kate's E-assist Gazelle.
No better in-town ride.
In the background is Quantum Bikes where staffer and family, Liam M helped us with the purchase.
Back in town we stop by for pro pit stop.
(In the middle is Larry enjoying some awsome fare from the nearby Atwater Market)
Smokin' by bike by day.
Montreal meat smokin' by Schwartz's by night.
Hey regardezvous,
I just ate in the same chair used by Jean Beliveau!
