Accepting Death (First Ride)

When I first started to work with colts I didn’t know anything and was just dumb enough to trust them to take care of me to the extent I would jump on anything. Thank goodness I didn’t stay there, as I most likely would not be alive today. One thing I noticed as I progressed both intellectually and accuracy wise, there was still an X factor to the mix I could never quite define to myself. Finally…

Day 15 – Magog to Sherbrooke – 32 km

Trail: moderate hills; 139 m up, 199 m down; 17 km paved, 15 km unpaved; A

I had a change of plans. Originally I was going to stay in Sherbrooke for 2 night's, resting one day. On the advice of an "in the know" waiter in Granby I decided to stay one night in Magog and one night in Sherbrooke. Unfortunately, it was raining when I arrived and since Magog is an outdoorsy town, I didn't have much of an opportunity to partake in local activities.

I stayed at À L’Ancestrale B&B in Magog. The home was clean and the bed comfortable. The host was incredible. She had tea when I arrived, an excellent and filling breakfast, and as if that wasn’t enough, she gave me a dry place to work on my bike. Oh, and then to top it off, while I was fixing my tire, she came out with a large bag lunch, at least half the size of my already full bike pack. Highly recommended.

There are plenty of boathouses along the Magog River and an electrical power plant.

Magog is on Lake Memphremagog and activities are heavily based around the water such as boating, sailing, kayaking, eating & drinking, swimming, sun bathing, biking, walking. I would definitely give this town 3 days in the future. It may be a real gem.

I started the day by repairing my flat tire. I found a 2-3 mm thorn that had poked through the tire and punctured the tube. I removed it, replaced the tube and away I went, but not before the host got out an air compressor to properly inflate my tire.

Leaving Magog, I was faced with a detour. After taking surface streets back to the trail, I realized the TCT was in better condition than Quebec roads. Keep up the good work on the trails!

Even though I ended the day at a lower elevation, the trail was up and down. Not like the past two days where the trail was more like a “scream like a little girl” kind of roller coaster. Today, the trail was much more like long gentle hills, climbing for a km or so and then downhill for a km or so. The ride was fun. I just smiled all the way down the hills.

I arrived in Sherbrooke in the afternoon. After the detour and then missing a trail marker (La Route Verte forked to the right at l'Eglise St-Roch in Rock Forest while the TCT continued straight ahead) I rode an additional 13 km, so it took longer than planned. Sherbrooke is the city of "too many hills". I took my bike and coasted to a restaurant in 10 minutes and it took me almost 30 minutes to get back. It’s at the confluence of the Magog and St. Francis rivers, a university town with large building murals, waterfront activities, and a very cool train station microbrewery/restaurant - Siboire.

It’s also home to the massive Petites Sœurs de la Ste-Famille Convent.

NEW YORK RANGERS PRE SEASON CONTINUES

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - The New York Rangers' pre-season game with the New York Islanders was canceled for Friday night and moved to Saturday, after serious flooding in NYC and on Long Island. The Rangers made roster moves sending five players - Karl Henriksson, Nicolas Brouillard, Ryder Korczak, Bobby Trivigno, and D Blake Hillman - to the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack. Hillman was released from his PTO. Adam Clendening was also released from his training camp PTO. The Rangers must get down to the CBA-mandated 23 roster players before the regular season starts. On Thursday night, the Rangers and New Jersey Devils hooked up at MSG. The Devils defeated the Rangers 3-2. The Blueshirts received very strong performances from Will Cullye, and Brennan Othmann, who both made a strong case to make the Rangers roster, and from Jonny Brodzinski for a fourth-line spot. Cullye was strong with robust, effective, physical contact and several quality shots on goal. He had a couple of quality scoring chances but was unable to put one in the net. Othmann brought the Rangers within a goal at 3-2 with 32.4 seconds left in the contest with a quick decision on a broken play (a broken stick on a right point slapper). He showed a quick release on the shot. In the first period, he picked off a Devils outlet pass and turned it into a solid scoring chance. Then in a mini-scrum in front of the Rangers' bench on a line change, he got into a tussle with the Devils' Tyce Thompson (Milford). Goalie Talyn Boyko was reassigned to Hartford on Monday. Tyler Savard, 20, is the son of Wolf Pack great, and former Ranger, and the current assistant for the Calgary Flames, Marc Savard, was picked up by the Kingston Frontenacs (OHL) from the Barrie Colts as one of their three overage players. Barrie had too many over-agers and released him. The OHL regular season begins this weekend for Savard, an undrafted left winger, who was in Ottawa’s NHL camp as an invite. Alex Pelletier (Granby/Avon Old Farms/Yale Jr. Bulldogs) commits to Cornell University (ECACHL). Ex-Pack goalie Keith Kinkaid was injured in the Devils pre-season opener in Montreal.- Former Whaler Kelly Chase has two sons in hockey.  Luke Chase leaves the Canmore Eagles (AJHL) and heads to Nipawin Hawks (SJHL). His brother Ben Chase plays college club hockey with the Arizona State Sun Devils (ACHA Division-1). His nephew, Greg Chase, is an ex-Pack who's now a pro scout with the  Philadelphia Flyers. Kyle Beach is an assistant coach at Trinity Western University  (CWUAA) (Langley, BC). The head coach is ex-Bridgeport Sound Tiger Ben Walter. Several ex-Packs play in the Canadian Senior League hockey. Among them is Steve MacIntyre from the 2004-05 season. He's with the Wetaskiwin (AB) Longhorns (NCHL), and the North Central (Alberta) Hockey League. In the same league is Matt Stefanishion (just 15 Pack games to his credit from 2008-09) who's with the Devon Barons. Garett Bembridge is with the Kenaston Blizzards Saskatchewan Valley Hockey League. Joey Leach is with the Wadena (SK) Wildcats of the Long Lake Hockey League. Also in that league is Dawson Leedahl with the Leroy Braves. In the Tigers Hills Hockey League in Manitoba is Shayne Wiebe with the Rivers Jets. Now head coaching out East in the Quebec Collegiate Hockey League Division-2 is Francis Lemieux at Vieux-Montreal. Brett Legget, who was an emergency goalie for one game and was ex-Pack’s Jeremy Williams brother-in-law is with Dundas (ON) Real McCoy’s of the Allan Cup Hockey League. Eric Selleck and Kris Newbury are both with the Gananoque Islanders of the Eastern Ontario Senior Hockey League. HARTFORD WOLF PACK HOME Read the full article

Day 13 – Granby to Eastman  – 44 km

Trail: moderate uphill with steep inclines and declines; 338 m up, 186 m down; 35 km paved, 9 km unpaved, A.

Last night I stayed at the La Maison Collins B&B. This was a first class B&B, a modernized yet charming old home. The floors creaked but not as loud as my joints. Indoor bike parking was provided, which included power outlets for e-bikes. It was super clean and the bed was comfortable with one exception. I found the bed to be too hot causing me to sweat. The kitchen was closed on Mondays so they paid for breakfast at a nearby bagel restaurant. Highly recommended.

The trail changed today and introduced steep hills. The scenery included a beautifully manicured rail trail followed by hilly countryside with beautiful views. This provided the opportunity to get off my saddle to pedal.

Leaving Granby the trail forked. I stayed to the right which kept me on the TCT (the left would have taken me on a reservoir tour).

A couple bikers passed me yelling and waving. It was difficult to hear them as they rode by. I was pretty sure that they said “détour” and I immediately thought “Oh *#@!, I’ll have to turn around and go back, find another route and waste 1.5 hours”. As I was coasting, ready to turn around, I saw a turtle on the path. They were yelling “tortue�� (turtle in French). It’s nice when things work out.

Trail maintenance was stepped up a notch with rest stops at every former train station stop, which included picnic tables, often supplemented with art and sculptures. The trail itself was really beautiful. It was like riding along a path with ribbons of white, yellow, and pink to my left and right.

People seemed to be really happy today. As they passed, most would say "bonjour". If not, they would just smile and nod. The trail greeting in Quebec, "Bonjour", has the same intent as “Buen Camino”.

With a short ride ahead of me, I spent the day as a “bikehiker”, stopping a lot, taking in the sites, and taking photos along the trail. (I tried to come up with one of those mashed up words for riding a bike while progressing at the pace of a hiker. Bikehiker seemed a bit long, but when I tried to shorten it to bihiker the new word just seemed to give the wrong impression.).

Waterloo was a nice halfway point for the day so I stopped in this quaint town for a second breakfast. Waterloo is designated as a Coeur Villageois (charming town).

The last 14 km of the day were like a roller coaster with steep ascents and descents. My bike has 27 speeds and I needed to use every gear. I found the steep descents to be exhilarating. At one point, while decending a steep hill, I was sure that my checks and ears where flapping, like a cartoon character.

Exhausted, I stopped to talk to a couple at the top of one of the the hills. They told me that the ride from that point on was very good. They were also riding e-bikes and they went out of their way to tell me how much they liked them.

Arriving in Eastman early allowed me to enjoy a nice lunch and wander around a bit. Eastman is a Coeur Villageois. It is at the foot of Mont Orford and is famous for its literary heritage and festival. For me, the lake was a big attraction.

The TCT went through a number of local name changes today. La Montérégiade became Estriade on the edge of Granby, which became La Montagnarde on the edge of Waterloo. The pavement ended on the far side of Waterloo and lasted for 9 km until highway 112.
