Bike ride to sketchy beach (3rd annual!)
It's BACK! The Constellation kick off bike ride/beach hang :)
We meet outside the front door of CEDA! Look for bikes!
Meet at 5pm, departure at 530pm SHARP
We will ride bikes to a sketchy beach on the voie maritime. This is off the island of Montreal. The sketchy beach is magical. There is best view of the city and the sunset. There are no laws. There are no cops. There are no tourists. (There are no bathrooms)
RAIN OR SHINE. Last year there were thunderstorms up until the moment we departed. Those of us that stuck it out were treated to the most breathtaking sunset of the year!
The bike ride is about 12kms and is mostly flat. We can ride bikes the whole way there. At the end we have to descend a small steep hill and short walk along a path to the water. The accessibility of this terrain depends greatly on the weather immediately before the event (it could be muddy, slippery, overgrown, or dry and very passable).
We don't know what beach we will exactly end up on, as this depends on the conditions the day of (and if anyone is already there before us!)
If you'd like to join us later, you'll have to contact someone who's there. Or just come out and try to find us! We should arrive by 6:30.
Instead of biking you can get there by walking, or taking public transit part of the way and then walking 6-8 kms (far).
Being a sketchy beach, there are no bathrooms, no running water, no services of any kind. The nearest store is 10kms away.
Prepare for the weather! Sometimes it's buggy, so having long sleeves and pants and a face covering for the last part of the ride can be desirable. Sometimes it's warm and you can swim (if you dare!). It can cold when the sun goes down. There can be poison ivy, depending on how the spring has been going.
Things to bring:
Water
Snacks
Firewood?
More water
Sunscreen (if sunny)
Long sleeves and pants (if cool and/or buggy)
Bugspray
Lights for the ride home
Friends
Swimming gear (if you wanna swim)
Something to sit on
Toilet paper
Friends!
Games!
