Isn't It a Shame?

So in case anyone missed the high level plan for the trip, it went kind of like this:
-> Ottawa
-> Montreal
-> Eastern Townships
-> Quebec City
-> Riviere du Loup
-> Cottage(Saint John NB)
-> Cambellford NB
-> Gaspesie loop around the outside, from the south around to the north
-> Ferry over to Charlevoix/Saguenay(Tadoussac)
-> Up to Lac St Jean( Chicoutimi, Jonquiere)
-> Back through Montreal to Ottawa

The biking in the Eastern Townships was fantastic. Quebec has a provincial trail system called Route Verte and there's something like 4000km of trails around the province. The trails range from paved or gravel bike paths, to bike lanes on roads, to just...being on a road. In the townships though it's almost all actual bike paths that are really well marked and well kept. Each little region has it's own free trail maps which is a bonus. I did about 100km of riding in this neck of the woods - a lot of farming(dairy, corn, hay) and of course wine/cider, and maple syrup.

We stayed at a KOA just outside of Quebec City, and had a nice dinner in town at a place in the chateau frontenac building(but like not IN the chateau frontenac). We went there looking for crepes, but ended up doing this fondue trio - cheese&bread, the beef hotpot, then chocolate fondue to finish up. YUM!

After Quebec it was off to my cottage...I've already posted a blurb from the cottage though so I'll post about Gaspesie next!

Laura and I have almost 300 pictures, so I'm hoping to be able to get more of those online in the not too distant future!
