Day 3. 1447km I awoke at 5am. I guess that's what happens when you go to bed at a descent hour? By 6 it was clear my mind was too active to let me sleep any more so I made some breakfast and packed up. I was on the road before 8! Quebec City was my next destination. I figured I'd park somewhere, unload the bike and ride around the olde city. Well! There are motorcycle restrictions on some streets in old Quebec and since I had spent a long weekend there previously I drive on. Although the HWY 20 super slab would be the fastest route, I'm not in a hurry so I started my journey down HWY 132 which runs along the edge of the St. Lawrence.

Day one was all about getting out of dodge and not sight seeing so I just took the 401 to HWY 20 at the Quebec border. The Quebec info booth was closed but did provide a wireless connection so I could find a camp site. I rolled into Saint-Hilaire, QC about 8pm and set up for the first time.... read more

I've got the trailer pretty much loaded up. Something made me measure the drop down bed and I realized it is a queen so I had to get sheets. I've tested strapping down the bike and have my 150+ litres of Pepsi secured. Still waiting on the board from Mike to mount the TV.... read more
