23 June Mont Ste Hilarie

     After meeting at the Shaika Cafe, we headed to Westmount High School, / WAG Grounds formerly the M.A.A.A. Grounds, for a Malcolm photo session, for his project on rewriting history.

That done, we set off on our ride along the newly liberated St Catherine St. then onto the Jacques Cartier bridge.

As G.T. Bishop observed, the is a distinctively heavier police presence, on bike and cruisers , than the west end of town. Even A. T. Lane  stopped at the red lights! Now on the south shore, we passed by the St Hubert Airport and over to the Richelieu River, after several water stops as the temperature rose.

 We passed through McMasterville, with its stately homes facing the river, then over the bridge to Mont-Sainte-Hilaire. With the combination of heat and a steep hill, we opted for lunch at a  funky burger joint. Revived, we rode a short distance to the train station and took a relaxing and most welcome ride back to Montreal.
