Aylmer to Montebello
After a leisurely start to the day we took a not so leisurely ride, with Jean leading the way and setting a furious pace along a busy, well maintained and twisting bike path to the east end of Gatineau, and providing a great commentary along the way. He then had to turn back, but gave us directions to help us on our way east again.
The remainder of the day's ride was a bit of a blur for me, due to low energy levels, as I had not had my normal half bucket of oats for breakfast. When we finally rolled into the campground at Montebello, we spotted Willem and Corri, a Dutch couple we had met briefly on the road a couple of days earlier, so set up next to them. They were great company, with some fabulous stories of their 6 year around the world sailing trip which ended in New Zealand, where they have now settled.
Today's ride: 60 miles (97 km)
Total: 5,502 miles (8,855 km)
