Was 5 mins late starting as did not allow enough time to find free street parking. nearby is only 2 or 3 hours. Had to drive several blocks (gettting lost several times) to inf parking with no restrictions and then cycle back to "Maman". Met up with Tom on Quebec side and caught up with the group quite a bit later. Fast ride there and a bit slower on the return as it got very hot (20C warming up to 30C). Stopped at Wakefield Bakery to have huge slice iof bread pudding and a tea in the shady but not buggy back yard. Quite a bit of the way there and back were on new bike path along old train tracks which has recently been paved with packed stone dust and is quite smooth even for 23mm tires. Must take H there. Cycled most of the way back with Philippa who is also ticked off that the group seems to have been taken over by speed demons who want to ride 100km in a pack at race pace. She actually complained to the powers that be about the last trip I went on when I got left behind a couple of times. Between us we resolve to organise a slower group. Total distance a bit less than the advertized 96km as we did not go up Fortune on the return trip (some did).
