Day 42 – Trois Rivieres, Quebec (Wednesday, June 17, 2015)
The route today followed highway 138 on the north shore of the St. Lawrence< River. Between Montreal and Quebec the road is generally flat and at various points runs close to the river. As expected the road had wide shoulders and clearly marked bicycle signs. The day started somewhat overcast and cool with a slight head wind but overall turned out generally clear with a helpful north west wind.
I had breakfast along the way and lunch in Louisville where I had originally planned to stay. I now plan to cut out at least one day by covering the distance between Montreal and (at least Levy) in two days instead of three. I had a late lunch in Trios Rivieres and settled for the night just west of the town in a clean Motel, Motel le Marquis, managed by a friendly couple from Switzerland who knew very little English.
