Stage 20 Ste-Foy, QC to La Pocatière, QC


June 24
144 km, 6 h 47 m

Quebec is the place to cycle if you like bike routes. They have la Route Verte. Many cycling paths criss cross the province. I took one out of Quebec up the south shore of the St Lawrence. There were lots of families on bikes and rollerblades on Sunday afternoon. A pleasant ride.

The traffic lights and the rules of the road in Quebec have an effect on the drivers. It makes them crazy, erratic and tres impatient. This isn't good for cyclists. Maybe that's why they have so many bike routes. They know that mixing bicycles and maniacal drivers makes for trouble.

Hey... great to read another blog. Only a few more days and then rest. Many God grant you much perseverance and strength. I am off to GDL tomorrow morning. It will be an adventure. You can read about it on our youth blog.

Much love,
