When I met Julian and Roberto of C&L, the Riv dealer in Montreal, I got the idea to ride there.  Here's the link to pictures.  And they put together a ride while I was there.  So many Rivs!  Now I want to take another bike trip!  https://cltspokespeople.org/category/blog/

Wow, Pam, that looks like quite a trip. And he got to meet so many great people along the way.

Pam, that looks like such a great trip!  I'm flying to Buffalo to ride the Erie Canal with my son this summer, I suppose I will want to attach fenders to my bike before we leave...in CA, we don't worry much about rain during the summer months. 

Tell us more about that sun hat you're wearing ....

What a great write-up and photos, Pam! I'm going to be in Vermont for the next four months, beginning in mid-August or so, and will take a look at that route. I agree, as well; those C&L people who were at PBE are very nice.

Sounds like you had a great time in Montreal and this trip in general.  Great write-up and photos!  I picked up my Roadini from C&L in February; great shop and people.  I wish I could join them on a ride and spend more time around those good vibes!

The brim is from Da Brim.  It attaches to any helmet.  It stays on pretty well but I did lose one.  I got home and it was gone.  So now I tie a piece of twine to it just in case.  I use the brim and sun sleeves to avoid sun exposure when I'll be out in the summer.

I think C&L was the best bike shop I've ever been in.  It had all the good stuff and not the usual stuff.  And the people are all great!  Well worth going.  I admit I go to bike shops wherever I am.
