Trois-Riviéres to Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures
On the road by 8:30 to a sunny sky. We had a really nice ride today again along the banks of the St. Lawrence River. Again we rode through nice agricultural land. Dairy farm after dairy farm lined the highway. Silos, some farms with 5 or 6, were common.
The terrain was again mostly flat with good shoulders to ride on. A strong cross wind challenged us at times. As we rode today we came upon a cyclist pulling a 'Bob' trailer. He is cycling from Kingston to Halifax to visit his brother. We rode the rest of the day with him and are camping with him tonight. Jerome is a retired teacher and a real storyteller! Lots of fun. He entertained us all evening with stories of his riding and of his twin brother who is a priest in Peru. He cycles about 10000 km a year and does some marathon running as well.
We are camping in the Canadien-Americana Campground in the town of Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. We are about 15 km outside of Quebec City.
Daily Distance = 106.39 km. Time on the bikes = 5 hours 38 minutes. Average Speed = 18.86 km. Maximum Speed = 44.51 km. Wildlife Sightings = Great blue Heron.
Kevin = 3, Sue = 0, Eric = 1.
P.S. Eric had his second 100 km day today!
