Turn loneliness into opportunity

Written by Jonathan B. Roy

Did you know I got into knitting ?!

On my bike and in my tent for 4 years, let's say that loneliness knows me. In these times of confinement, the CSEPR (Prescott-Russell region employment services center, here on Facebook) asked me a few tips to better tame our loneliness.

So in 4 steps, I give advice that I try to implement every day of my life.
1- Taming loneliness
2- Work from home
3- create memories
4- When we compare (we console ourselves!)

Have a good end of isolation!

The wild side of the Outaouais

Impossible to miss the vast Gatineau Park which, on the map of the Outaouais, expands like smoke from a campfire. By combining it with the cycle paths of la Route verte, I was drawn to its many trails, lakes, and stretches of forest that seemed to invite me personally.

In Praise of Diversity in the Eastern Townships

The Eastern Townships offer all the options for cycling enthusiasts, from Sunday rides to tough challenges popular with amateur cyclists. I explore some of this great potential by riding on bike paths, gravel roads and even some pump track curves!

Trio automnal dans les Laurentides
Fall trio in the Laurentians

Autumn is upon us and with it are multiplying the opportunities for colorful getaways along quiet country roads. I offered myself, from the south or north, three loops in the Laurentians.

Sur les pistes de la Montérégie
On the slopes of Montérégie

In a dense network of cycle paths, I visit an old fort, drink a festive cider, ride a lime-green hippopotamus and play the piano by the water's edge. Welcome to Montérégie!

Montreal: an island and its river by bike

The island of Montreal has nearly 1000 km of bike paths. Through large parks, over a few bridges and along the river and canals, I walked fifty.
