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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 ! -- Jean-Baptiste PERRIER On Fri, Jul 28, 2017 at 11:40 AM, Romain Dessort wrote: > On Fri 28

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. http://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/en/circuit-gilles-villeneuve-montreal/ Lucas

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

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
