Nice story today in Granby's La Voix de l'Est newspaper to celebrate the Route Verte's 30th anniversary about the first rail-to-trail bike path in Quebec: L'Estriade between Granby and Waterloo in the Eastern Townships.

There should be the occasional opportunity to take a guided tour of this house.
I'd buy some sort of support-a-charity fundraiser ticket to do this.

Montreal has grey skies & icy slush today so maybe it's better to look back at the dry hot summer weather we had?
We saw many sunsets on bike rides.
Because we wanted to ride with the fireflies 30 minutes after sunset, which was a very good success on several July rides.

We took the tour of Montreal City Hall.
It has some excellent stained glass murals in the council chamber and an excellent accessible-to-the-public public deck on the back.

Le Nunavik a reculé l’heure une dernière fois
Au printemps prochain, les aiguilles seront avancées de façon définitive, abolissant du même coup le changement d’heure saisonnier dans cette région du nord du Québec.

Look it's november and so eating, and eating some more, is a big focus right now.
As a person with northern roots, traditionally this is when we fatten ourselves up to survive through the winter.

The black bean burger recipe with feta as one of the ingredients that has been making the rounds is pretty good & good the second day too. If you use the food processor, don't over-process, you want some texture in the patty.
TL;dr have made it a few times & continue to be happy with the results.👍

I often say that a car is the most expensive bike accessory, but a home with a garage and/or a basement is right up there too.
It's a great time to shop for a used kayak.
If you have a place to store it being the critical prerequisite.
