Day 45 – Berges, Quebec (Saturday, June 20, 2015)<\/p>\n

Today was another day I managed to ride 200 kilometers.<\/p>\n

The wind predictions were in my favor. I felt good physically and the temperature was in the twenties without any rain. I was determined from the outset to make the most of the conditions and aim for Rimouski, about 100km, by lunch time.<\/p>\n

The day was as predicted and I arrived in Rimouski in good time. Rimouski was a highlight of the route on the south side of the St Lawrence. \u00a0 There was a road which catered to bicyclists, and tourists. \u00a0The road wound for several miles along the shore through scenic inlets and stone beaches.<\/p>\n

Because the wind was so good at Rimouski I made the decision to ride through to make up a day and aim to stay at Berges for the night.<\/p>\n

At Mont Joli the road cuts inland away from the St Lawrence and through hilly country side. \u00a0 I managed to make good time and arrived at Val Brillants Camping near Berges by about 5:30pm and had supper at a nearby roadside canteen.<\/p>\n
