To satisfy our newly acquired need to blog and to inform about the smaller events on our way to bigger and more challenging adventures. See the Welcome page for our other blogs.
We had a nice ride today (93 km) with lots of crosswinds and headwinds. We did not break any speed records but managed to maintain a steady pace. Heading out of Ormstown, a Surete du Quebec police car pulled up beside us and the policeman inside gave us a "thumbs up". Once again we illegally crossed the bridge over the Beauharnois Canal saving us a good 30 km. We promise to maybe never to do it again. Many mosquitoes tonight so it will be a short write up. See you tomorrow
Separate bike lanes on a major boulevard in Valleyfield. Why can't we have those everywhere?
"Souffle d'Eole" a monument to women textile workers who fought to improve their work conditions in 1946
Large mural (by Sophie Wilkins) under the Monseigneur Langlois bridge
Helene having a "Time out" enough said!
The biggest climb of our trip so far
Can't wait to race down this one with our trailers
Below is a video of Helene riding down the first major hill of the trip. The trailers tracked true behind our bikes and felt really solid. We had to be careful when there was a cross wind but other than that we are very satisfied.
Supper in Rigaud
By far the nicest camp ground bathrooms we have ever seen!
