t -6 days

Read in French (provided by Google Translate)
Today I rode one of the "Defi de l'ete" from Velo Quebec. It was starting from Rigaud, for a ride of 145.42Km in 5h 26m at an average of 26.7Km/h. It was a pretty humid morning. Not enough to be called showers, but enough to keep you "humid". And I'm sure nobody would have complained if the temperature was jsut 3-4C higher. With the fairly strong wind today and the fact that we were wet, it forced us to keep pedaling to be warm. No rain in the afternoon, not sunny either but who's going to complain?
The region around Rigaud is very nice, there's something about it that attracts me to go back. We passed by Hudson, another very nice place I discovered today. Lots of nice houses, some of which are more estates that simple homes. Only 45 minutes from Montreal, how nice would it be to have a cottage there? Escape the city turmoil...
That was the last ride i'll be doing before the departure. The remaining days will be in "active-resting" mode. Long walks, sleep a lot and prepare material for final packing.

For what it's worth, we can start looking at the long term weather forcasts. In Vancouver, July 2nd is going to be sunny, and rain on the 3rd. Plenty of time to change, right? Ever since i started looking at the weather in Vancouver, it's always been 18C, and guess what, that's exactly what they forcast for the beginning of July. 18, is it just me or it's not "that" hot...
