Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?

[Jean-Baptiste Perrier]

To clarify further (you posted the same link twice ;-) ), I meant the St
jean ride:
https://www.strava.com/activities/436393533
It is fine gravel after Chambly. I did that regularly with 23mm tires, no
problems with my road bike. Wider tires will bring you comfort as for any
road but I don't remember it being uncomfortable.
I ride 28's now but it is for the MTL potholes more than for the gravel :-)

For the around the lake ride ( https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583
), it is asphalt all the way IIRC. Road side after Chambly.

To clarify, this is the out-and-back through Chambly
(https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583), yes?  From what I
gather, this has some loose gravel and might not be entirely ideal for
a proper road bike?

I have been tentatively planning on doing the other route you
suggested (https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583), the one that
goes around the lake.  Either way, I guess a single group could go
together as far as Chambly.

Anyone want to join me on Sunday for the Saint Jean sur Richelieu ride?

Lucas mentioned turning this into a day trip. Given that it is planned on
Wednesday, I cannot confirm I can be there yet (work).
But if I can, I don't mind doing the same trip twice.
That means you can join me on Sunday (08-06) and join another group in the

If anyone wants to borrow my bike, they are welcome to it.

It's a 50cm nashbar touring bike, with clips, drop handlebars with two
sets of brakes, and an obscene number of gears. I am 170cm and find it
very comfortable. I have misc tools for any basic adjustments.

I also have a helmet you can borrow! I arrive Friday.

I was about to have this one:

but it's more the no-sports variant and should even be for children.
There is clearly room for more!

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?

[Brenda Butler]

I set up a couple of shorter routes in graphhopper, one for Lafontaine park
and one for Ile Ste. Helene.  Again, I do not know if there is construction
on these roads ... or if the destinations are no longer nice.  But they
used to be fabulous places for picnics - I'm hoping they still are.


Conference venue to Lafontaine Park:

https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=45.550812%2C-73.554111=45.525172%2C-73.57132=en-US=bike=fastest=true_miles=false=Omniscale

Conference venue to Ile Ste. Helene (brings you right past Habitat).  I had
to tweak graphhopper to make the route go where I expected (did not want to
have to go on Jacques Cartier bridge).

https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=45.550662%2C-73.553724=45.509114%2C-73.550463=45.497383%2C-73.552694=45.515008%2C-73.53467=en-US=bike=fastest=true_miles=false=Omniscale

Hmm, according to this page there will be construction on Ile Ste. Helene
all summer.

http://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/en/aquatic-complex-pool-swimming-competitions-montreal/

Rats.  There is a beach on the other island though ... plage Jean Dore.

http://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/en/jean-dore-beach-sand-swimming-sun-montreal/

For those who do not want to cycle there, the metro yellow line goes to Ile
Ste. Helene and you can walk to the beach.

Hi,

I might join as well for a ~100Km ride if I can rent a proper road bike. 
I think the 6th would be best for me.

For shorter rides, you could go for a picnic at Ile Ste. Helene, Parc
Lafontaine, or Mont Royal.  On Sundays, there is a Tam-Tam Jam on the east
side of Mont Royal, there are usually rogue unofficial food vendors so if
you are willing to eat their food, you won't have to bring your own.

It has been a very long time since I was in Montreal though, I do not know

And you can then come back by the cycleway along the St. Lawrence shore.
I find it less uniform than the Canal Lachine. You will see the
impressive Lachine rapids (you can stop at the Parc des Rapides to look
at them more closely).

Here is the full itinerary I suggest :
https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=45.495398%2C-73.553123=45.428817%2C-73.689079=45.427371%2C-73.593979=45.468077%2C-73.55999=45.495398%2C-73.553123=fr-FR=bike=fastest=true_miles=false=Omniscale

The Parc des Rapides is at the waypoint #2.

Have a good ride!

Very good suggestion, I wanted to keep it short but it isn't that much
longer.
Most of it is dedicated cycleway also. You can see people surf on static
waves in the rapids !

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?

[Jean-Baptiste Perrier]

Here is a quick itinerary from the old port that is not too long (~30km)
and using cycleways all along, for folks who want a relaxing ride.

Apologies for using google maps, I could not find a matching trace
https://goo.gl/maps/o671XDoodez

It follows the Canal Lachine, which was a very important waterway during
the development of Montreal.
You can stop at the Atwater market, where you will find plenty of fresh
produce, cheeses (should you need to buy some for the C party)
At the end of the canal is the Jacques Cartier parc, perfect place for a
picnic. You'll see many families on the barbecue if the weather is nice. At
the entrance of the parc is an ice cream vendor IIRC.

This is not a city tour, more of an activity Montrealers may do themselves.

If you want to cut the ride, you can go to the Lionel Groulx station (green
line), and rent bikes from MyBicyclette*:

Hi,

I'll arrive in time and will bring my bicycle, if airline permits.
But I'm clearly an "urban cyclists" and will not abuse a bike for sports :~)
If anyone likes to explore the town by bike (<< 20 km), I'm in!

Cheers

I confirm I'd trust all members of the Perrier family.  By chance my
wife was asking me at breakfast whether I also will meet the father of
"this guy" but I said "unfortunately not".  Hope to see you at some
other event

[lhark]

I would also love to join you all, though I'm not sure I'll be able to
follow with my cheap old mountain bike :/

How fast do you guys usually ride ?

Cheers

Hi,

I might join too. I would need to rent a road bike.
I'm arriving on saturday so won't be available that day.

Btw, it's too bad that Parc Jean Drapeau is closed to cycling during
DebConf. That would have been fun.

I knew this guy would be answering Eric's mail, I don't know why...:-)

Listen to JB's advice when it comes at cycling in MTL area.

Have a nice time there, folks

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?

[Jean-Baptiste Perrier]

For 100km I would suggest going around the Chambly Lake
https://www.strava.com/activities/435890583
Plenty of bicycles going around the lake.

Alternatively, following the same route, you can go to St Jean sur
Richelieu:
https://www.strava.com/activities/436393533
(trace is only one way)
Perhaps a bit nicer, less road and more cycleway.

Both routes go to Chambly, which is a nice stop (at 30 or 70km) to get a
Unibroue beer

Shorter route, goes up to Verchères, mostly if not completly cycleway
https://www.strava.com/activities/622440952

Another short route that goes through the estacade on the Saint Laurent:
https://www.strava.com/activities/436397658

I can show the way

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?

[Louis-Philippe Véronneau]

I would join you if I had time, but I can recommend the path to
Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu going through Chambly.

Once you are out of the city the path is quite nice and you can stop at
Chambly for some sight-seeing. The fort there is one of the oldest in
North America.

If you want to stop and eat something, I also recommend the fish and
chips at Capitaine Pouf at Saint-Jean.

Half of the path (from Chambly to Saint-Jean) is very fine gravel
though, so I would recommend something less aggressive and with tires
larger than 25 if you want to be comfortable. That part is very nice
though since you ride on the side of Canal de Chambly.

More fun on https://carto.routeverte.com/en!

[Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?

[Eric Evans]

Hi,

I've been thinking I might bring my gear, rent a proper road bike
(https://mybicyclette.ca/high-performance-road-bike maybe?) and go for
a longish ride on Saturday or Sunday (~100km).

Anyone interested in joining me?

Anyone locals have recommendations for a places to rent from, or
interesting routes?

Cheers,
