  After taking the train to Candiac, the members headed out on the open road towards St Jean sur Richelieu.
Picture
Picture
Opps....too far, they ended up riding to Napierville, before turning back towards St Jean. Apprehension grew as they realized they weren't in Montreal anymore, were they in Kansas, or Saskatchewan?  How were they to get back?
Picture
Picture
 A glimmer of hope as signs appeared that St Jean is in fact in the vicinity.
Picture
Picture
Being members of the Montreal Bicycle Club, they took some time to view the local history.

18 May Parc de la Ile-de-la-Visitation

Present :    G.T. Bishop, Louis Rubenstein, Karl Kron and Daisy Greville Minutes by G.T. Bishop

Length of ride: 53 km
Map of Ride
      With founder, A.T. Lane, in seclusion to ponder the implications of a Victorian holiday weekend being renamed Patriotes, it fell to standard bearer, G.T. Bishop, to lead club members Louis Rubenstein, Karl Kron and Daisy Greville through some very 'de souche' neighbourhoods of the city.

Picture
       The weather was cool and cloudy but the rain stayed away and it warmed up as the ride went along. We set off down to the Lachine Canal and the Old Port to then pick up the de Maisonneuve bike path into Hochelaga borough. Traffic was light but there were a few tense moments as pedestrians wandered into the bike path blissfully unaware that the path might contain cyclists. We then turned north up a slight incline to pick up the Rachel bike path to take us to de Maisonneuve park where we stopped for a nature break before cycling along the newly paved section of the park's bike path on the east side of the park.

Picture
       We continued up into Rosemont borough, then into Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension (Daisy Greville was constantly wondering what borough we were in at any given moment), under the Metropolitan and along Jarry to head into the Park Frederic Back trail that circuits the Saint-Michel Environmental complex, past the Taz and then further north into Ahuntsic-Cartierville before finally entering the Ile-de-la-Visitation park at its eastern most extremity.

Picture
        With more than half of our ride completed, it was time to find a spot for lunch. A. T. Lane had suggested the Bistro des Moulins, which had been closed for renovations last year and, surprise, was still closed this day. A stop at Racer's Cafe on Gouin was no more successful as they only offered coffee and ice cream. We went to plan B and headed up to rue Fleury and found a nice little Vietnamese restaurant, which offered tasty pho soups.

Picture
       Rather than picking up our original route, we followed Fleury west to rejoin it along the North/South bike path at Christophe Colombe and made our way south back to the city centre. At Laurier Park, we followed the bike path west on Laurier to St. Urbain where Louis Rubenstein took over the mantel as G. T. Bishop headed back to his Plateau residence.

      Total distance for the ride approximately 53 kilometers on mostly flat paths and secondary roads.

21 May St Jerome

Present :   G.T. Bishop, Louis Rubenstein, A.T. Lane, & Minutes by A.T.  Lane
Length of ride: 73 km

    The members took the train to St Jerome and after a few wrong way turns getting off the train, had breakfast at the cafe beside the P'tit Train du Nord gateway.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
  Soon we were on our way again, stopping only for lunch at Canada's most famous Cafe.
Picture
Picture
Some more cycling, then Louis decided to bid adieu to his friends and take a train back the rest of the way.
Picture
Picture
Upon arriving on the island of Montreal, we handed out a MBC card to a potential new younger member who expressed and interest in our uniforms.
Picture
Picture
Perhaps feeling nostalgic for Louis, A. T. took a few photos of the Rubenstein memorial water fountain, before taking in his bike to have the brake pads replaced.
Picture
Picture
The final leg of the journey was by Bixi, dropping it off at a like minded dock.
Addendum

Hola A-T,

Just after you left the train came exactly on time...................except it was on the wrong side.  So I did that highly illegal move to to cross the tracks only to discover.  That's why I have you along, A.T. , to get me on the right side. So i pedaled, feeling my way along over the bridge, turn right on Gouin down O'Brien, Ste-Croix, du College and visited my old cronies at Cote-de-Liesse and Alexis-Nihon.  Then I left and tried to cross under Metropolitain Boul but was thwarted by a freight train.  Anyway I am home again and in spite of the cold and rain and train mishaps it was a successful outing =  thanx to you and G.T. .

Keep on truckin',

Louis
