Picture
Picture
Osheaga, the music festival was on at St Helen's island, so they made there way along the river. They spotted a fox along the way.  Riding beside the river path led to a discussion of where exactly was Suzanne's place near the river?
Picture

8 August Train from Montreal to Chambord and ride to Roberval
Length of Ride 24 Km
Map of Ride


The members boarded the 8:15 Via train to Chambord, which was scheduled to arrive at 16:05.  This train seems to be frequently late as Via shares the line with freight. The delay was caused by north bound freight train returning rail cars.  The actual time of arrival was about 7 pm.  However the scenery and staff are pleasant and we all arrived in good spirits.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We had a short ride into Roberval and got our first taste of the Véloroute des Bleuets. Checking into our hotel in time for dinner.

 The path into Saint-Félicien runs close to a freight rail line, with varying scenery along the way.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
At Saint-Félicien, we stopped at a grocery store, to pick up some items for a picnic. perhaps it was the unintended change in the camera settings that made this spot our picnic choice.
Picture
Picture
Between Saint-Félicien and Dolbeau there were some long stretches of riding on road shoulders, many sandy blueberry fields and large river rapids upon entering Dolbeau and passing into Mistassini.
Picture
Picture

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
At the eastern edge of the park, there is a large beach were we stopped for lunch and cooled off in the water.
Picture
Picture
The veloroute between the Park and Alma again is a mixture of dedicated paths and wide road shoulders.
Picture
Picture
On entering Alma we stopped at the Véloroute des Bluets store to check it out.
Picture
Picture
After dinner in Alma, we navigated up the elevators to the hotel rooms for the night.

At bit more riding and shopping before boarding the train for home.

Photgraphs
     The members attended a press conference at the Technoparc grounds just north of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport.  Elizabeth May (head of the Green Party of Canada) announced that she would pressure the government to place the area as a protected space for endangered and rare wildlife.  Afterwards they took a walk to view the area which like most Montrealers, we had ever seen before.  It is truly a jewel within our urban  island that deserves to be protected.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Plenty of underused space nearby the proposed protected area.  No need for more asphalt!
    On he way back to Montreal, they stopped to take a photo of Blue Bonnets racetrack which is in the process of being demolished.  The original racetrack of the same name was located near the present day Montreal Ouest train station.  It was often mentioned in the old MBC minutes as a site of meetings and bicycle races on the track.

22 August Return from Repentigny via Terrebonne & Laval

Present :   W.G, Ross, Louis Rubenstein & A.T. Lane Minutes by A.T. Lane
Length of ride: 85 km
Map of ride 
Photgraphs
    Early on a rainy, windy, morning our intrepid members set out on the 7:00 am train to Repentigny.  All went well until arriving at the station, the doors this train uses vary depending on the height of the platform.  W.G was expecting to use the same door as he used to board and missed the station stop entirely! After some messing about between the Repentigny & Terrebonne stations the three were finally all reunited.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    Aside from a few light showers now and then things went well, entering the charming town of Vieux Terrebonne.  This section of bicycle path was new to all the members and was a little hard to follow because of the abundance of alternate bike spur lines.  After passing the town we took a recess for coffee etc.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
   Soon after the recess, the group became separated again as Louis took a low road  bike spur leading to the river, while A.T. & W.G. took the high road leading to a forested path far inland from the river.  Due to a battery failure, communication between the two groups ended.  The forested high road twisted and turned until finally the two came to the bridge to Laval and familiar territory.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
   From that point on it was only a matter of pedalling, or taking the metro back to Montreal.
