Hey everyone!
We've reached the information centre just inside New Brunswick!
After beginning the day with a scrumptious meal of crepes with strawberries & custard, we headed down through Old Quebec and onto the ferry. Again this day we saw tons of bikers along the south side of the St. Lawrence River and we all waved and said 'bonjour!' to all those who passed by. Since the wind was with us at about 30km/hour we hope that our cheery bonjour didn't frustrate those who were biking into the wind!
We biked 160 km in total. The roads were fantastic except in the small towns we passed through where there were bumps and cracks everywhere...in two of the towns they were also doing large construction work that we had to walk through for a total of probably 2-3km! We camped at a place called SEBKA which was beautiful...great view of the sunset.
Today we have biked 130 km to the border and we're going to camp in St. Jacques. It was a demanding ride today - the wind was with us initially when we biked into Riviere-du-Loup but when we turned south on the 185, the wind was a little bit of a factor and as well the terrain was very hilly with long gradual uphills...although the view from the top was beautiful and the downhills were definitely a welcome break!
Today had another landmark of Dave's back tire almost disintegrating 8km beforeRiviere-du-Loup. Luckily the tire lasted him until that town where he bought a new tire...Leah and I have already bought 3 tires each!
Alright - until next time!
