Our Saturday Morning Bike Ride with the Manotick (Ottawa) chapter of the EEG Biking Society

the group wanted to have a group photo at this spot
who could resist a beautiful background?

l-r: Lenny, Trish, Marv, Pilo, Timmy, Tito Litsto, Aubrey. Downtown Montreal in the background.

l-r: Lenny, Trish, Marvin, Pilo, Pauly, Timmy, Aubrey - it was a perfect day for teamwork riding, drafting, sharing the load, protecting the yellow jersey :)

Here, Paul finds out that his right shoe cleat is damaged and does not lock-in, secure to the pedal. We still continued our ride towards Ile Notre Dame, did a couple of laps around the racing circuit. On the way back to Lasalle we stopped by Atwater ave., at the Cycle Technique bike shop to get the damaged cleat replaced. Thank God they have a set of original Look pedal cleats in stock. The pair costs $30.00 Canadian; the mechanic did not charge us for installation.

windy Saturday morning, but a beautiful day for a bike ride, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Ile Notre Dame, Montreal, Quebec Canada

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, QC Canada, on the other side, a few meters behind us is the Casino Montreal, l-r: Timmy, Trish, Aubrey, Paul, Lenny, Pilo, Marvin

stretch limo, corner Notre Dame St. and Atwater Ave., across the Cycle Technique bike shop / store,
we stopped by the shop to get Paul's damaged cleats replaced.
Trish's front tire was leaking air again (we've replaced the tube a couple of times, we've checked the inside liner, seems fine, the tire's got a few cracks, probably needs to be replaced), pumped tire with air while at the shop, she made it back to Lasalle (our starting and return point, mom and dad's place), no problemos

Len found a Mavic jersey just like Marvin's, price reduced to $69.95, down from $89.95; yes, she bought it.

Progress report on the 1982 Peugeot road bike ressurection project: they have not touched the bike yet :(,

Trish put aside a yellow jersey for herself, on sale, $69.95 Canadian, down from $109.95. Good deal huh?! :) (as Tita Nil would say)

side profile, Pilo, nice detailing you did on that plain white Louis Garneau helmet
