Bike Gaspe Day 12

Gaspe to Chandler. 112 of 1476 km. The Adams Motel gave us a nice breakfast to start the day, bacon,  eggs,  potatoes,  toast and coffee. The ride started on a paved dedicated bicycle path through the woods and parallel to the train tracks, which meant flat and protected from the wind. Eventually this ran out and became a sandy road with no direction markings although it presented us with the railway bridge to cross the mouth of the bay. So we hauled our bikes up and crossed the river and bay via the train bridge, which clearly looked abandoned. Subsequently we ended up back on the road for the rest of the day. The terrain was quite hilly to Percé after which it became much more moderate; we saw a hill warning sign saying 17% in the hilly section. On arriving in Chandler, we booked into a b&b; it is really nice and we may have the best room as it has a walkin closet and an attached sitting room with a view.
