Montebello to St Calixte
Most of the day was spent leap-frogging Corri and Willem, which was great as they are such fun, and always ready to laugh.
Kate and I stopped at Lachute for tea, a sandwich and wifi (the town has free wifi in all areas). It was a busy and noisy place, so it was a relief to finally escape, and find a quiet picnic spot for some lunch. The timing wasn't perfect, as we arrived when the grounds maintenance team was out in full force cutting the grass with tractor driven mowers and whipper-snippers (strimmers).
The heat, humidity, noise and busy roads has worn me out today, so it was good to finally arrive at a rustic (run down and poorly maintained) campsite in a lovely quiet location and cook a curry for dinner. The lady running the campsite insisted that she show us where to set up by taking us there on a golf buggy, which I was at first hesitant to do, but I survived to tell the tale.
Again, almost without exception, the people have been very friendly again today, smiling and waving at every opportunity.
Today's ride: 69 miles (111 km)
Total: 5,571 miles (8,966 km)
