July 15, 2010Ready…get set…go outdoors!

Waaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in spring, I decided to make a few outdoor plans for the summer. The only problem was that I wrote them in French and have not bothered to share them in English. UNTIL NOW! So here ya go, without further ado, my summer checklist:

Montreal as seen from the Jacques-Cartier Bridge

1. Ride the entire circumference of the Island of Montreal. In one shot.  Distance: about 160km.

This must be kilometre 153-ish

2. Ride Montreal-Orford, in one shot. Distance: also about 160km.

3. Hike up Mont-Chauve (Mount Baldy) with my Dad. Altitude : Not much and it doesn't matter.

4. At least one canoe-camping weeeknd. Distance : Whatever I can do.

These three projects will be all the more satistying in that for various reasons, I wasn't able to complete them last year. But as you know, finishing a project gives you a rare sense of satisfaction. The more effort and the more time it takes, the bigger the reward, eh?

And you dear readers, what are you outdoor plans? I invite you to get lost in the mid term. The short term is always there and the long term is patient enough to wait for you!
