Day 56

Wednesday, August 18th
Hudson to Mont St. Hilaire
117km

Happy Birthday to me.

Todays cue sheet had the most instructions per km of cycling of any day on the trip.  There were 49 instructions for only 115km of cycling, which made for a slow day with lots of stopsigns.

It was another wonderful day of cycling.  Slight tailwind, good temperature, lots of great things to see.

The highlight of the day was a trip through old Montreal.  It was great.  The bike trails that we took were fantistic!  Beautiful trails along the river and great views of old Montreal and the downtown skyscrappers in the distance.

Even the Montreal suburbs were nice.  There was a beautiful bike path leading into the city, right on the water.  The streets had row after row of 3 story houses with metal stairs/fire escapes on each of them.

After Montreal, the roads into Mont St. Hilaire weren't so great.  Lots of potholes to avoid.  A very bumpy ride.

Ooops Dan.. I've made a mistake by submitting a posting 4 times instead of once.

Your trip sounds like it had been really fun so far! I hope the rest of the trip is as good as it has been, and your birthday was a good one!

Hi Dan!

Happy Birthday!!! I can't believe it has almost been 3 months since i last talked to you. If memory serves me correct, you are turning the big 2-5 this year. I'm sure during the remainder of the trip you'll be starting to feel more of the aches and pains that come with old age. =) Can't wait to see you when you get home!

Luv,
Viv
