Moonlight Adventure
Tibbs thought he might break new ground for the club, it being a full moon night. He cycled to Montreal West and down St Anne de Bellevue boulevard and found his way onto the pathway of the Bande Verte. There was a roadblock of concrete panels but a small gap was left free for bicycle access. Tibbs considered that to be very thoughtful. So turning off his bike lights he cycled his way through the dark with only the rising full moon as a companion. The odd Icabod Crane thought arose in his mind but thankfully no headless horseman deigned to gallop after him.
There was still a lot of earth moving equipment at the western end. Landscaping was not yet finished. Some trees had been planted though. As he cycled eastwards there were more plantings, even grass seemed to be well established. The pathway meandered somewhat. Near its midpoint it descended down the slope and for about a 100 meters the lights of the city and traffic were almost completely hidden. One would almost swear to being in the country.
Along the pathway at either end of the Bande Verte were new wooden fences. Why is a good question. The width of the pathway is about 6 meters, quite wide. No wildlife was spotted such as owls or bats. There was the drone of thousands of crickets.
At the Pulman end there was again another roadblock with the thoughtful gap for a bicycle. It was a memorable outing.
