Maiden ride with Giro Atmos helmet

Rode once again from Pierrefonds near Sources blvd to the Kirkland Colisee via the Pierrefonds Blvd. bike path, turning left on Château Pierrefonds and winding my way through the Kirkland side streets. I'm glad I found my way around going to and coming back.

33.9 km ride, strong winds heading west, tail wind going back

reaching the Kirkland Colisee parking lot, Kirkland, QC

posted earlier this comment: "the giro atmos helmet is so light, my head feels like it's not covered, i mean, lots of air flowing through and breezing through, cooling my head, as if it's exposed, nothing covering it, i had to check a couple of times just to make sure the helmet was still there ;-))"

Mommy's Fish and Chips Fix

Every now and then I get a craving for Mommy's Fish and Chips and today I got my fix, which should be good for at least a couple of months ;-)).

medium fish n chips, with ketchup for Tita Nil

medium fish n chips, without ketchup for Tito Lits

St. Joseph Blvd. in Lachine, walking towards the Rossi Bicycles Store, shopping for a new cycling helmet.

Giro Atmos at Rossi was $170.00. Paul called Cycles St. Laurent, checked with Howard - $148.00 tax-in. Wooohoooo!!

From Lachine, we drove to Bombardier near Parkway Motors to pick up Trish from work, then we headed to Cycles St. Laurent to pick up the Giro Atmos helmet, it was also there where we met up with Pauly.

After transacting our business at Cycles St. Laurent, we parted ways with Pauly Boy (on his way to pick up Lalaine), then we drove to Vanier College, a couple blocks away, to pick up Pam from work, and we all (Tita Nil, I, Trish, and Pam) drove back home, altogether in one CRV. ;-)))

stage 7 - Brioude Aurillac 159 km

Luis Sanchez: King of the Descending Finish!

Luis Sanchez earned a second victory for the Caisse d’Epargne squad
this year after an attack on the descent of the final climb in stage
seven. He bolted into the lead with four kilometers to go an, just as
he did on the downhill of the col du Tanneron in Paris-Nice, held off
the charge of the peloton to claim victory ahead of an elite field. Of
the top five in the stage to Aurillac, three have worn the yellow
jersey in the 2008 edition while sixth place when to Sanchez’s
team-mate, the 2006 Tour champion Oscar Pereiro. So ended a stage that
boasted a major bout of action at the halfway mark, when CSC split the
peloton to pieces with a fine display of teamwork that rid the yellow
jersey’s peloton of the rider in the polka-dot jersey and caused over
half the field to lose significant time.
