It's been HOT, but I don't let that stop me (just slow me down ). Mostly riding on the circuit in Parc Maisonneuve, near that godawful expensive Olympic Stadium of ours, which suits me well - no stop signs, no lights, no cars, and nowhere near the typically atrocious pothole-scarred road surface one encounters most places in the city here. I find the the full Columbus SP frame on the Marinoni (perhaps in combination with the Ambrosio Elite rims?) really lets me feel all of that, so the clean asphalt is especially welcome. Do get out on the streets, too, though - just went for a couple of hours with my Dad (visiting) last week, up along the north edge of the island, and I'll be rolling downtown pretty soon (to look at a Gardin frame, another Canadian bike that caught my eye). Just got a book on bike touring in Quebec, so hopefully be getting some distance in the country soon enough...

Sounds like a good break from the grind (a fantastic break, actually) camping out on SJ and riding the Mondia!
