How we’ll ride it

Big days. Sustainable energy.

This is a bike vacation, not a rolling deadline. Start times are windows, evening plans are invitations, and the Day 1 bike ferry is the only thing allowed to boss us around. Endurance pace, regular carbohydrates, electrolytes, water and real meals are what make four ambitious days feel like a trip rather than a test.

Ride steadyKeep the early hours calm and save the matches.
Stay fedCarbs from hour one; real food at the anchor stops.
Regroup wellOwn pace on climbs and descents; meet somewhere obvious and pretty.

Nice work.

Time to celebrate, take photos, and collapse. Then food, a shower, and the deeply satisfying knowledge that Montréal is now connected to lower Manhattan by one extremely elaborate snack run.
