Kingston - Perth - Ottawa - LaChute to Montreal

 7/18:  A very warm 80 mile ride to Perth, followed by a very nice dinner at Bistro 54.  Left is the Capricciosa:
Veal scaloppine with sea scallops, jumbo shrimp, lobster and smoked oysters. Mushroom risotto.
7/19:  An excellent breakfast of sticky buns, still warm from the oven, at Sunflower bakery... followed by an easy 50 mile ride to Ottawa.
The last 10 miles were on lovely bike trails
Stayed upscale at the Westin... where they have no laundromat and they charge extra for WiFi and use of their so-called business center....

So, I went to dinner at Play, my ATF Ottawa restaurant.


 The Scallops at Play followed by:
Pork Belly.
and topping it all off with the Fudge Brownie.

7/20:  80-mile Ride to LaChute, QC... mostly along rte 148 on the Quebec side of the Ottawa river.
Found this little gem along the roadside.  Decent croissants and lovely looking pasteries.

7/21:  Montreal
My rear wheel has had a dent in it for some time, and it was finally time for a new wheel.  Luckily, I found an excellent bicycle shop on Rachel St. on my way to my hotel downtown.  They had the right stuff in stock, were open Sunday (most aren't) and had it finished in just a couple of hours while I hung out in a coffee shop nearby that had wifi and tiramisu.
