St Vallier to Quebec City We woke up at 7AM and quickly packed up so we wouldn't cause Nile any problems with his landlord (even though he said his landlord shouldn't be around that day). We said our thank you and good bye to Nile and got on our bikes for the short ride to... Continue Reading →
Day 14 – Quebec hospitality strikes again
Day 14th – St-Jean-Port-Joli to St. Vallier After watching Japan come to a heart breaking penalty kick shootout loss against Paraguay, we checked out of the motel and got back on the road. The actual soccer game was not very eventful, with a 0-0 scoreline after 120 minutes, but to me every play was very... Continue Reading →
Day 13 – Rain, wind, and 8 degrees by the St. Lawrence River
St. Germain to St-Jean-Port-Joli, PQ We started the day at Michelle's house with an awesome breakfast of eggs and toast and fruit. We thanked her profusely for her generous hospitality, especially considered the cold and rainy weather the night before. Gilles drove us to his house, where we had cycled to the previous day. As...

Day 12 – Rural Quebec Hospitality
Day 12 – Rustic Campsite to Saint-Germain It got quite cold over night. It might have been because we are slightly above in our elevation, but it is probably more to do with the fact we are near the Gaspe peninsula. They say it's cold most of the year around here! We started cycling and... Continue Reading →
Day 11 – Into Quebec!
Today we cycled about 80kms from de la Republique Provincial Park in New Brunswick to a wilderness camping area along the Temis trail between Saint-Louis de Ha Ha and Riviere du Loup. We had a quick chat with the cyclist who had shared our camping area the night before. It turned that they lived just... Continue Reading →
Day 10 – Rural New Brunswick and spooky motels
Day 10 - Grand Falls to de la Republic, NB We had a good start to the day, rolling out around 10am from our luxury splurge on a motel in Grand Falls. It was nice to start the day with cold milk on cereal. We headed out of Grand Falls, spotting an older couple on... Continue Reading →
Day 9 – Rest day in Grand Sault, NB
Sorry for the lack of updating over the last few days. We've been typing up our blog daily (well, almost, we had a little catching up to do) but have been without internet for a while to actually post them. Today was our first rest day, and it was a good day to rest since... Continue Reading →
Day 8 – Rain, rain and more rain
Woodstock, NB to Grand Falls, NB Today was our longest day to date, 123kms up the Saint John River. We started out the day in cloudy weather in downtown Woodstock and headed North on the East side of the river (following the maps' suggested River Route). The road was narrow and a bit bumpy from...

Day 7 – Headed North along the Saint John River
Mactaquac, NB, to Woodstock, NB We woke up to the sound of a squirrel attempting to get into our food stash that we had hung from a tree. Luckily we used our slippery water proof bag, so he kept sliding off of it. We watched him do the jump, land, attempt to open, slip, slide,... Continue Reading →
Day 6 – Meeting our first fellow touring cyclist
Sheffield to Mactaquac NB Today started out fairly early, on the road by 9am from Casey's campground in Sheffield, NB. We had a great chat with our new Aussie friend about adventures and obstacles to expect over the next few months...and we told her about the road between Coles Island and Moncton. She told us...
