134km/83m, 8hrs 28mins, 15.8kph/9.8mph, 647m/2103ft of climbing.
Longest day so far, more by accident than design. Started looking for somewhere to stay when I had covered about 90km, but nothing appealing turned up. So I ended up riding all the way to the border with New Brunswick, and will leave Quebec first thing tomorrow morning. Must remember to wear my helmet, as New Brunswick is one of the places that is misguided enough to have passed a law forcing cyclists to wear helmets. Ridiculous, but there it is. I have carted a helmet across the Atlantic and round Eastern Canada so I can avoid getting arrested during the two days I'll spend in New Brunswick.
Today was my second day of riding in a predominantly western direction. So guess what? A stiff North-Westerly headwind. It would be very easy to believe it's personal. Beautiful day, though, riding in bright sunshine along the shore of the Chaleur Bay. Much softer landscape on this coast, and a feeling in the air that I'm riding into a rather softer climate, too. We'll see how realistic an expectation that is in the coming days.
