Dad had a beautiful day of cycling yesterday. He had a bit of jigging and jagging to get out of Ottawa to the Quebec Border, but once he crossed the border and turned right onto Highway #344 it was smooth sailing (or should I say smooth cycling). That's right - the Quebec Border - another province is now behind him! He followed the Ottawa River and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.THANK YOU to Simon and his wife who hosted dad last evening. Another THANK YOU to Simon who got dad through Montreal. We all know how crazy Montreal can be in a vehicle, imagine on a bicycle. They ate out on the deck and dad had beautiful company and a wonderful meal. Even their dog Bob stayed out with them and enjoyed the evening and conversation.
Today dad is off to Trois Rivieres. The first 20km of his journey is on a bike trail, which Simon suggested and mapped dad's route to Trois Rivieres. Dad gave me a quick call this morning from the bike trail and said how breathtaking it is. He is taking his time and enjoying the ride.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the scenery along the bike trail and it was good to get a call from you this morning .
From the picture you are getting quite tanned.
Just keep using your suntan lotion.
Love you Faye.
Hi Gary! So happy it's still colours flying, spirit soaring, feet pumping as you draw ever closer to home. Lately I've been coming up with limericks about your trip. I've already posted one; here's another:

He bikes down the road,
trying to miss every toad,
keeping clean with soap-on-a-rope!
Ride on, dear friend...
