Oct 14 - Montreal 66 km







 A bit of a cool and windy start this morning….but it eventually warmed up in the afternoon when the sun finally came out.  I was on a path most of the day, and really enjoyed my last day of cycling….possibly for the year, the way the weather is looking in Edmonton!  No snow yet, but looks like it may not be too far away.  Although my good weather charm may just be following me home as the temps are going up for Wednesday!!!

Oct 11 - Trois Rivières








 This morning I back tracked about 20 km to go have a look at the Fjord. The lady at the motel office said that that a short walk was necessary.  When I got to the information board…it said that it would be a 42km hike….one way!  That wasn’t going to happen today!  

I did to a 6 km hike to see the sandy beach area.  Then I drove back to Tadoussac and saw the dunes.  A 10 min ferry ride across the water and I was off to Trois Rivières…..about 350 km drive, most of it near the St Lawerence.  Gorgeous views….but once again no place to stop to take the photos.  

Laundry, dinner and an early tuck in for a long cycling day tomorrow.  

Oct 10 - Tadoussac





 I woke up early to frost!!!  I stayed in the tent until it had warmed up a bit…then quickly packed and cycled to Trois Rivières to pick up the rental car for a drive today. I took the front wheel off the bike and put it in a safe place while I loaded up the car….and forgot to put the wheel in and drove off.  Thankfully I was only about 30 min away when I realized, so back I went to pick it up!

So many beautiful views getting to Lac St Jean which is about 350km north west of Trois Rivières.  The lake is large and beautiful, and I was following Rivière St Maurice for the first half of the trip, so a nice twisty road that I will have to come back to do on the motorcycle 😀.  Unfortunately when driving I can’t just stop where I like to take a photo….so unfortunately I don’t have many photos again today.  

I drove part way around the lake, as the full circuit would have been 250 km all the way around, and I still wanted to get a bit closer to Tadoussac which is the end of the Fjord.  Unfortunately it got dark as I was passing by, so no views….but apparently I have to get off the road for the views, so I will return tomorrow before heading south.
