The CVRM in Montreal just had an 200km ride last saturday. Starting
condition were minus 5-10 celsius, snowing (2-3cm).

The course was starting from Montréal, going down to the Covey Hill
(the last hill in forward direction during Boston-Montreal-Boston) and
back. Seven riders started with 3 intending to do 'only' 85 km. 3
riders finished the course, one of them was an fixed-gear. The fixed
gear had to walk up the covey hill, but he enjoyed being able to brake
during the descent

You can see picture from the french blog of the fixed rider:

or in the club news section (not so good quality, but amasing photos
of the covey hill)

This is the new definition of rando insanity. It's all perspective. :-)
I'm feeling quite sane now, thank you.

From the pictures, they look like the nice guys from the neighborhood.
Where are their friends or wives when they need to be talked of this
craziness? :-)

Fun pictures; thanks for passing along.

Wow. Not my cup of tea, but "chacun à son goût." I wonder if Henry
Kingman has ever done this one? :^)
