Montreal to NYC

Roman 20 March 2005 22:53:09
 Hi,
I live in NYC and I would like to ride from Montreal down Champlain
Valley/Hudson Valley to NYC. What is the best way to get to Montreal with
a bicycle? air/train/bus? Better to send the bicycle to a bikeshop in
Montreal ahead of time? Also any travellogues links you know about this
trip. Thanks a lot in advance to all.

 There's been several ideas and reports for this on the NYC.bicycles Usenet
group. You can search the archives by going to
http://groups.googl­e.com
and entering this search:

There's some more ideas and reports on the Bike Hudson Valley website.

 I don't know much about getting a bike up there, but a corrollary is how
you're getting back (riding, I suppose?)

There is a 1200K brevet ride known as BMB (Boston - Montreal - Boston).
These fools (err--- "excellently prepared athletes" - ahem) ride the whole
thing in 90 hours or less. They have a website with a posted routemap and
elevation profile. They might help in route preparation.

Bon route!

 What C.R.A.P. you speak of!!

Have you EVER been to Hunting(let me leave the correct spelling to YOU)?
That small town is not very far from Montreal (or even TMR). As for hiding
things in your saddle bag.... let the Canadian and US Border-control folks
take care of that.

BTW, have you EVER had your body orifices "inspected" at a Canadian Customs
"checkpoint"? I'll bet that IF you have, it is an experience you will
rather forget about, AND NEVER mention to anyone. FACT! They are thorough!!
(But gentle). ;-)­

Don't EVER forget the basic FACT that Canadian and United States border
control officials ARE SWORN to maintain each country's legislation as far
as controlling "access" into the country is concerned. The continuation of
their job depends on their actions regarding maintenance/enforce­ment of
their country's legislation.

Wanna play and "have fun"??? Go ahead - BUT(T???) be prepared to get
"checked out". Have NO FEAR - both sides of the border are staffed by
competent professionals. Remember that basic fact. No bozos man the border
checkpoints - no matter what you think. Their jobs depend on their
vigilance

Surely you jest regarding alleged incompetence (by the border control
folks) while crossing the border. By the way, just how many places do you
think you have for hiding contraband on yourself, and on your bicycle?

Let me answer your question with a question. How many people have been> killed with nail clippers? I would _guarantee_ that 100 times as many> people have been killed with writing implements (pens, pencils, wooden> sticks with their ends burnt) than with a nail clippers. Yet they> confiscate only the clippers on planes!

Not any more, they don't.

That's not bad writing, but you've got to admit that
"The pen is mightier than the sword"
says it with more zing.
