Is there a specific route or trail you want to hit up this summer? A distance or fitness goal of some sort? Planning a bicycle tour? Bikepacking?

Please share, I’m curious to see what all of you are getting up to for this summer!

I love doing local commuting. I usually do it from spring until fall but I just started new meds that effect my appetite. So I have been a little cautious because sometime I will run out of energy and not realize it. So my first goal is just getting back on my usual schedule. Something about getting to a location just through your energy is so fun! I don’t love biking to bike but I love using it as transportation.

I wanted to get another 1000 miles in, but between being physically exhausted from work and mentally exhausted from other things, I’ll probably not get to that this summer.

You can do it, the hardest part is getting on the bike. Once you’re pedaling it’s always easier to keep pedaling!

100%.

I often regret NOT riding because of the weather/mood/energy/<insert other excuse here>, but have never regretted getting on the bike.

I did my first little cycle tour last summer, and I’m dying to get going again.

I’m thinking of touring the province of Prince Edward Island, I love riding on the coast (which islands tend to have a fair amount of) and apparently PEI has a very good network of cycling trails (at least for North American standards). If there’s anyone from there or who’ve biked there, let me know if you have any suggestions!

Planning to explore the different Routes Vertes out of Montreal to the nearby parks. Gonna do a bike camping trip to Oka once mosquito season dies down, then later on do Ptit train du nord to Mont Tremblant. If time allows gonna try and bike out to some of the parks in the Eastern Townships.
