Day 22 - D'Oka to Montebello Due to our racoon encounter the night before, we had a slow start to the day but headed for the tourist office in Oka first thing. Of course, it was again closed. It seemed from our current bike map that we could just follow the coastal road ( in... Continue Reading →

Day 21 – Montreal to D'Oka It took us all day to escape the suburbs of Montreal! We left Adam's aunt and uncle's in the morning and followed the beautiful bike paths along the south shore off the island of Montreal. We enjoyed this but it involved a lot of detailed route findings and map... Continue Reading →

Day 19 – Massueville to Montreal Today we headed for Montreal where an awesome meal and a shower awaited us at Adam's aunt and uncle's. We started early and headed for Saint-Ours to the ferry, stopping for an early lunch at the grocery store before the ferry. It was a nice store with tables outside... Continue Reading →

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 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 →

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 →

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 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 →

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...
