- Thread starter Pesqueeb
- Start date
Rain was pretty heavy yesterday, trials will be sloppy for several day, maybe a road ride later.
wow i got 8 hours of sleep last night! Coffee then off to the show office to pick up my walkie talkie.
Sick kids is vomiting all over the place. He's in good spirits otherwise, so it's very deceptive. I hope I still get to ride tomorrow!
I'm in Canaderp bitches!
Someone tell me what to do in Montreal (it's flatter and hotter here than I imagined). I've got to kill time till 6am tomorrow.

Bromont, duh! 30 min drive....
I wish! No bike. No vehicle. Just rolling into my hotel room now. I'm here for work with the boss 
Recommendations on a brewery or somewhere to spend an evening would be appreciated though.

Not raining but 30 MPH winds so taking the hardtail on a road ride to the trail, if trail looks passable then a short loop. I need to test my gopro and chesty so if there is a curb I'm going to huck it.

Commence ride number three....after I finish the second half of this infant sized burrito.
No clue then. @jdcamb can probably help. Lots of cool little spots in the old part of town. Look for bixie bike rentals around town.I wish! No bike. No vehicle. Just rolling into my hotel room now. I'm here for work with the boss

montreal? hookers and blow, man...hookers and blow.
I duathloned:
3.1 mile run: 6:33 pace
15.8 mile bike: 19.0 mph (1050' elevation gain...hilly!)
3.3 mile run: 6:46 pace
28/288 overall, 4/27 age group. I had a good race, but I could have gone harder on the bike. I'm working on it. My legs felt way too good on run 2, which tells me I didn't bike hard enough. Half Ironman in five weeks.

Snuck in two rides before some rain today, proceeded to say 'suck it' to the thundershowers. Put on my Raincoat and washed my car.
And about to start ride number 4.
1.) Shwartz's Deli on the Plateau, for Smoked meat sandwiches and Poutine and the Pickles are insanely good.
2.) Any place with a Chinatown requires me to go there. Qing Hua for Soup Dumplings. Just go there and you will understand. I fucking love real Soup Dumplings.
3.) The Hookers on St Catherine will sell you 1/2 grams of black hash for $ US20. Smell it before you buy. Never buy off the pimps, they will rip you off. Never pay the pimps for the services of a girl, always the girl. Never take them back to your room. All transaction take place in the Street regardless of how many cops are standing around. Never pull your wallet out for a transaction. Bartering is customary no matter how much they complain. Walk away if they get to aggressive. Cops will beat your ass and steal your money if you get lippy with them. Everyone speaks English even if they hate Anglos....
4.) While on the Plateau, Pizzeria Magpie. I think you need reservations if it is still open. Sit at the bar. The women will talk to you. Pretend like your shy, lost, and rich Montreal girls like that.
Remember. If you can't get laid in Montreal. Odds are you can't get laid. Overall assessment Montreal Women are pretty slutty but worth the risk. Cab Drivers will steer you to places on St Catherine. Be wary of them and the Police. Never ask directions from a cop. You are bait for them....

No mention of late night shawarma place? Or was that Ottawa...
Slutty? Seriously there has to be a better term... I'm beginning to understand your karma.
My first gopro video, the upper drainage was pretty decent but finding pockets of mud on this short trail is a good indication of whats lying ahead. Clay mud is not my favorite and a complete bitch to clean. The wind you hear is a 30MPH tailwind with gust to 45MPH. I had tailwind for 8 or 9 miles from town which translates into a headwind all the way home. Quite a workout at 30PSI...

To be fair, it is Montreal..
Quebecois are a different bunch. Good, but different.
Slutty means the same thing in French as English I assure you. Karma? I think I am pretty helpful.
I believe the term you're looking for is "chaudes"... I should know, I married one!
I second Schwartz on St Laurent. It's one of the best things you'll ever put in your mouth. Get a single plate of the medium brisket.
I never really went out in Montreal so I can't help you there, but there should be plenty going on all over the place. It's known for its night life, it shouldn't be too hard to find.
As for me, got home from Montreal (at my in laws) this afternoon. Took the kids to the splash pad, prepped dinner, cleaned my bike, installed the slaughter on the rear wheel. Hope to try it out tomorrow... I like the looks of it better than the rock razor.

Greek and Lebanese food anywhere. Any Neighborhood, The Pilaf Truck by the Stadium....
Been riding my bike a whole shitload recently. I like it.
Apparently Nick Menza died.

rode around for an hour with the 6yo. trying to encourage him to be a ripper. we'll see. since there was nothing major or away from home in the works, started teh beers before lunch.
might start work on re-ghetto tublessing two new tires tonight. will just re-tape and re-valve and save the loud compressor work for tomorrow.
most of my gear is in my car, which is still in the shop, so no real riding this wknd. didn't hear from the shop all week and have been enjoying the loaner q50. it's quite nice. last i heard they were looking into whether the engine replacement could be warrantied. sure i missed my service intervals, but the oil light also never came on...I guess i'd be willing to split the bill 50/50...

Rode with the wife and kids up at 3-Sisters park. Goddam the new tires kick ass. Waterbars and big square-edge rocks at speed and no rim-strikes.
What happened to it?
ahh good to be home after 3 days of EMT standby where the only thing I did was check out the boss lady after she felt dizzy. Turns out she took too much of a dose of her diabetes oral med and bottomed her sugar levels. Almost a grand in my pocket, three days well spent.
Got home to happy barking doggies. Put all three on leashes and enjoyed seeing the rescue puppy fit right in on his first walk with the big dogs. He is turning out to be very smart and is rapidily adjusting to his new home and is trusting us. WIN
