I loved my Formula One racing when I was a kid, and used to pester my parents to let me stay up late, or get up early, to watch the far-flung international races. One of my favourite drivers was Gilles Villeneuve, father of Jacques, who died tragically in 1982, shortly before my 10th birthday.

Myself and Jacqui rented bikes yesterday, and decided to ride around Montréal for a few hours. We’d walked around Vieux Montreal on Sunday, so I decided we should take the bikes and do a lap of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, named in his honour, and site of the Canadian Grand Prix.

The photo above is the Start-Finish line. I’ll post some more photos when I get a chance.
