Visiting the ghost of Ye Olde Snowdon Theatre

 

On again off again preperation dwindled the participation and although short it turned out to be an interesting ride with a few k on unexplored terrain.  The refounding fathers, AT Lane and Louis Rubenstein, met at the Shaika and headed up Girouard to Queen Mary  to catch some photos of the old Snowdon Theatre.  The primary purpose here was to provide substance for a narrative called Haunted Malcolm - about which little is known.

Following this they ducked under the commuter train tracks and thru the Olde Blue Bonnets racetrack and up Royalmount to Boul Métropolitain and another set of freight train tracks.  This was of particular interest to Louis as he has a specila passion for trains and feels that the existing city rail lines should be reworked rather than dug up.

 

 

 

A different and interesting route was taken back  by zig zagging through Hampstead and the next ZOOM meeting was mentionned and that some Fogbees from Tennessee and W-Va would join in.  Some of this group visited us in Montréal last year and we hope to maintain ties.  It was even suggested that we might organize a similar bike car/trip as they did and even to go as far as Texas.  Today's fixture ride was a mere 20 k
