In my series of biking in the world's cities: Montreal. And visiting Mount Royal for the views and nice park experience. I particularly like the lake on the backside.
Amazingly, Mount Royal is a part of an extinct volcano that was active 125 million years ago. I did not know this; it is always nice to visit volcanoes.
But it was way too hot, somewhere beyond 30 degrees. I was way too tired, and I almost gave up on the steep hills leading to the top.

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
