Montreal, Qc,
Canada 2003
On a sunny Saturday morning, after a week of solid rain, I set out to make my first Ste. Anne ride of the season. I was up 10:00 and I did my chores, mowing the lawn after breakfast. Then, at 12:00, I set out on my bike ride. I rode out to Ste. Anne, taking many pictures to fill in the gaps in my collection. I explored many side roads along the Dorval & Pointe Claire coastline, which I had bypassed over all the years. I stopped in at the cafe that Jason had started to run with his girlfriend, only to find that he was no longer there. I would return at close to 19:00.
