The weather today reminded me of what we used to say in Wisconsin -- if you don't like it, wait 10 minutes. We left Montreal on a beautiful, sunny morning, voicing admiration for the wonderful system of bike lanes and trails. Some of the bike commuters were a bit aggressive, but we were well protected from motorized vehicles! We had lunch in a lovely park well out of the city, and I carefully put on more sunscreen. No more than half an hour after lunch, we were standing in a bakery watching the lightning show. Not a bad place to spend an hour! We bought a raspberry pie after we had measured Susan's bike bag and determined it would fit. Just riding in the rain wasn't enough for me. I forgot my CamelBak and had to ride back through the rain about 6 miles to fetch it. My total mileage for the trip from Montreal to Berthiersville was 65 miles.
The meandering bike trail -- practically a bike highway at this point!
