CX, Prime Minister and Games

Etienne-Brule Look-off

Bombed down number two, but stopped to look at the big spiky purple flowers.

Continued on down the forty - fun as hell on a CX bike. Whoopty Whoot!

Down to the end of Meech Lake Rd. I believe that this is the entrance to the Prime Minister's cottage - check out the security cameras and RCMP car behind the fence.

Can any slack-jaw yocals confirm if this is the Governor's General summer home?

Quebec Summer Games taking place this past week. The mountain bike venue is at Camp Fortune. Took a spin up and it was all a hustle and bustle of pop-up tents and young folk racing.

It was my first trip to Fortune this year. Shameful. I usually ride Fortune a few times a month. Meh.

40 is a blast on a CX bike! Love it!

-- that place is hardly ever used...
they have a shoreline restoration project going on down around there. It use to be a great swimming hole...
And, if you turned your camera just a bit to the left you would have encountered nudies there on Thursday!
I went for a hike as I park my ride around that area (I even have a spring fed beer fridge that's kept cold as hell all summer long), and what do I encounter, a couple screwing (more like a lick fest) on the rocks!
