We are really looking forward to cycling today as everyone has said this section of the Petit Temis trail is the most scenic. Through this section the trail hugs the shores of Lake Temiscouata and the Madawaska river. A beautiful river The day is not looking very promising weather-wise. In the morning, it is overcast,...

Off an old rail bridge Today we depart from the St. Lawrence river and head south towards New Brunswick. We will have two days of cycling along The Parc lineaire interprovincial Petit Temis. It is a 134 km cycling and hiking trail that connects Riviere du Loup, Quebec with Edmundston, New Brunswick. It follows an... Continue Reading →
On to Riviere du Loup. We continue along highway 132 all the way to Riviere du Loup. We have decide to spend two nights there at the Municipal campground right on the St. Lawrence river. The campgrounds in Quebec are extremely nice. Most have relatively new washrooms and showers that are well maintained and clean. ... Continue Reading →

The icing on the cake though is the fact that we are off road on a wide paved path. Over the course of... Continue Reading →
We pick David up at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport this afternoon and head off the island for the night. No cycling today, David needs to unbox and reassemble his bike before we will be able to start cycling tomorrow. Once settled at a campsite for the night we have an opportunity to look at...
