This Summer we did a thing.
The Geos travelled to Montreal by bicycle. It was one of the most memorable adventure that we have achieved in a long time. Right after a world wide pandemic. Our youth after the ride were enthusiastically exhausted. Some went biking days after the trip and discovered they now had superpowers, their cycling kick was strong and their stamina was great!
This adventure started with a destination in mind, ComicCon in Montreal, we then gathered ideas from the youth of what would we do once there? what else could we do while there? How do we make this a kick bottom adventure?
This ride was not easy, but having practise the skills, kept a proper pace and our enthusiasm high, made this adventure quite manageable. Yes, the map will tell you that you could do this ride in 9hours. Knowing that we were not going to make it in 9 hours, exploring the idea of doing this ride in 2 days made us explore more where to stop on route.. While searching we found great destinations along the route to discover. So by looking at these multiple stops, we expanded the trip to a 4 day ride.
Our 200km journey gave us more time to appreciate the ride, the multiple destinations and each other.
