Stage 21 La Pocatière, QC to St-Honoré, QC

June25
132 km, 6 h 34 m

Riding on the south shore of the St Lawrence River was beautiful. These are old roads and houses line the entire distance. It makes me think of grade 5 Social Studies- those thin plots of land leading down to the water. And the river’s gonna run.

Look.
A white line leading on, ever and ever. A narrow width of pavement my domain.
Trees, grass, rocks, water, birds.
Houses, machines, hints of humanity.
A plate of food, a soft bed.

Forlorn bungee cord
Laying on roadside, sprung loose
Why did you let go?

My steed in the morning, awaiting another day on the road.
