As some of you may know, I have been studying for the past two months for my preliminary exam. To celebrate the writing (and hopefully passing) of the exam, I’d like to do a long ride next monday.
No route planned, just want to get out of the city for a while. Some ideas are St. Jerome, Oka, or somewhere on the south shore. If you know of a good ~160 km ride, please suggest!
OK. How about Rigaud? Once we’re there we can do the rolling hills of St-Henri (nicely paved 10 km one way). The St-Georges road is awful because they opened a quarry not too long ago. There’s also a few rolling hills around. I guess we could do something like 180 km. Well this is only a suggestion… and weather permitting of course.
Well if we strictly do Mtl-Rigaud you will be back in time. It’s about 160 km and with a few riders we would be able to do this in about 5 1/2 hours. I’ve done this ride many times. The weather has to be good though.
