Bike Gaspe Day 5

Danville to Levis. 142km. 658 km from Kingston.  Since the restaurant near the motel has closed, we ate a breakfast snack from our reserves and started out toward Victoriaville. By the time we made it to Victoriaville,  it was drizzling - what else. That made it easy to decide to have brunch and stay dry and warm.  Susie tried their breakfast entrée of bacon and cheese on egg whites. It's not a winner. In contrast my foot long roast beef sub was good and also substantial. Just before we left, I made adjustments to the front derailleur so that it would shift into high reliably. Today we switched back and forth between the rail trail and Hy 116 as they ran parallel most of the way. We had rain a few more times although it wasn't really hard. From Victoriaville almost all the way into Levis it was straight and quite flat. The rest stops along this part of the rail trail are frequent and really well done. They appear to be adopted by various groups that groom the grounds and installed  various sculptures.  Our route took us right past a Costco store so we stopped there for carrying food and decided to eat in the cafeteria. We booked a motel room from Costco and then ate leisurely because all our necessities were in place. It was nice eating before going to the motel because we didn't have to go out again.
