RAMROD FTW

Apparently RAMROD is not a movable feast. It will be happening on Saturday the 22nd, which means I'm not going to xkcd day - but the rest of you should still go...
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of RAMROD, it is the Ride Around Mount Royal in One Day. Every year, Vélo Québec organizes a ride they call "le Tour de l'Île". Unfortunately, it's not actually a tour of the island, but rather a small section somewhere in the middle. RAMROD, on the other hand, is a real tour in that we will ride on the closest available road or trail to the water, all the way around.
cpirate did both halves on separate days last year. Unfortunately, doing that adds about 30km to each day-we live in the middle of the island so there's a bunch of extra riding to the edge. Therefore, if we cut out some of that, the whole island is actually a very reasonable day's ride. Plus we have better bikes this year :)
