Day 18 - Nicolet to Massueville Today we battled a strong headwind almost all day. It was probably one of the most difficult biking day we've encountered so far (at least to me it was). It was also one of the most uneventful days we've had. We decided to head to Massueville instead of Sorel... Continue Reading →
Day 17 – Ste Croix to Nicolet
Day 17 Ste Croix to Nicolet We had a wonderful stay with Katherine's relatives, and were a little sad to have to get back on our bikes to leave. Our day started with a superb breakfast that was cooked by Dominique (very tasty pancakes!) and we squeezed in a few games of Nintendo Wii with... Continue Reading →
Day 16 – Happy Canada Day from Quebec City
Quebec City to Ste-Croix We have been busy being hosted by Katherine's relatives that we hadn't had much time to get caught up with our blog. We are more or less up to date with our posts now but are still behind on our pictures so keep an eye out for them over the next... Continue Reading →
Day 15 – The 1000km mark and into Quebec City
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 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 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 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 4 – The 80km journey to Coles Island campground
June 19th - Moncton to Coles Island NB We met up with Shayda at our hotel in the morning before heading out. Shayda was super nice and took Katherine to the grocery store so we could stock up (while I contined to supervise the very important World Cup game). It was nice to see her... Continue Reading →
Day 3 – Acadian Route to Moncton, NB
We started off the day along the Acadian route from Murray Beach to Shediac. It was again a very quiet road with some great scenery of the ocean, and a few abandoned houses here and there. We saw our first fellow bike tourist of our trip today, headed the opposite direction at a fairly quick... Continue Reading →
