Too bad, the Manotick (Ottawa gang- Marvin, Lenny, Tim, and Aubrey) could not stay until today. It turned out to be a great day for a bike ride.

Tito Lits and Uncle Pilo - somewhere in Pointe Claire, QC, near Lakeshore Blvd.
Got a wake up call from Uncle Pilo around 7:00 AM, yes, that early, on a long weekend Monday. I broke to him the news - the Manotick Gang have left the province, snuck out of Montreal early this morning, bikes and all.
We had an awesome threesome today - Paul, Pilo and Tito Lits. Destination: St. Anne De Bellevue. Route: one thing for sure, we did not take the not so bike friendly Senneville route, along the infamous crater dotted Gouin Blvd W. The road through there is not Mavic wheelset friendly :)
We took the Chemin St. Marie, cut across the Trans Canada to John Abbott College, on to St. Anne's.
Lots of people, lots of traffic, lots of frolickers on the boardwalk, lots of pleasure crafts lined up the side of the canal, their passengers exchanging pleasantries with the ordinary folks on foot.
I didn't bring my camera today. Photos courtesy of Pilo's Nokia Phonecam.
Overall, the ride was great, the company second to none, the weather magnificent. We had one flat earlier in the ride. Situation dealt with in under 5 minutes. Great job roadies.

talking about allergies, it has been quiet for me up until last week.
the route we take brings us past farms, corn fields, wooded areas where weeds, lots of it and other allergens mix with the air.
before a ride i take a claritin 12 hr tablet - that helps me from allergy attacks- sneezing, runny nose.
