Bienvenue au Quebec! | Jul 31st 2008
This morning we left Ottawa pretty early to be on time for the 200km journey we had ahead of us. Tory’s friend Chris met us in the morning as he is joining us until Quebec City. It’s nice to have someone to chat with on the road!
We took some great back roads and stopped for lunch in Hawkesbury. We met some great guys at a kayak shop who bought us gelato for dessert before we carried on into Quebec! The roads got even better on the other side of the river and then we found a bike path that took us in the direction that we were going. It was nice to get off the roads for a while.
We then got about 20km from our meeting spot with Tory when Chris stopped and exclaimed: “I physically cannot bike anymore!” His longest ride to date was about 100km so this was really epic for him. I was impressed that he made it this far. He ended up stopping and I continued on to meet Tory and together we went back to pick him up and head in to Montreal!

Hi, if you pass on the left rive of Saint lawrence river, the road begin to be difficult 30km after quebec untill rivière du loup. And the road on the south of Bras d’Or Lake is enough difficult for 60kms after Saint Peter (cape breton island). So I think after 200kms you could be tired when you will arrive to Sydney ! I would like be here to see this.
good luke
