A bit of a long day of cycling….thankfully it was flat as I had a bit of a head wind. The wind was chilly today so I had to ride the entire day with a jacket on.
I didn’t take many photos today as I was trying to get to the campground before it got too late. The days are quite short right now….sunrise at 0730 and sunset at 2830, and it was so chilly this morning that I delayed in the coffee shop until it warmed up a bit.
I rode through a few towns today, one town - Louiseville had some type of festival. Many stalls were set up and music was playing in the streets. Unfortunately I didn’t take the time to find out what was going on.
I managed to set up my tent and get into the sleeping bag before dark which was my objective. I’m wearing all my clothes, down jacket, toque and mittens to stay warm tonight. This is the only really cold night, the next few nights will be quite a bit warmer so much more comfortable to camp. Hard to believe that just a few days ago it was so warm at night that I couldn’t even get into my sleeping bag! Certainly fall weather….and I’m so grateful for all the lovely weather that I’ve enjoyed. I’ll be picking up the rental car tomorrow morning….just need to pack up and cycle 12km. I’ll have it for two days….enough time to visit some places that I wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. Should be fun. Only a couple of photos today.

You made good average speed yesterday in spite of the headwind. 103KM. Not bad for a beginner…hahah. Downfilled, toque and all your clothes. You would think it was Mt. Logan.
Yes….I froze every night on Logan….I broke down and bought a better expedition sleeping bag after that trip. I thought about bringing a warmer sleeping bag for this trip, and figured I wouldn’t need it. The first week was so warm I slept on top of the sleeping bag. Who knew it would get so cold!!! 😀
