Riviere du Loup to Rimouski. 118 969 km. Today we got off to a great start. Firstly we had a nice substantial breakfast courtesy of the Comfort Inn. Then we set out on our bikes in sunny weather with a modest headwind; it was nothing like the previous day. Between 20 and 25 km out, Susie noticed a bump with every rotation of the front tire. She showed me the bump on the tire and the damaged tread. So we reduced the tire pressure and rode on to a rest area where we could change the tire and dispose of the damaged one. It was a good decision to carry a spare tire yesterday. That made it 3 tires that had to be replaced on this trip.
Later we detoured into Bic National Park. It was the kind of thing that we came to see- great views. It's got the river in front and a small steep mountain at the back. We entered via a rough paved road and exited via a nice smooth bike path through the woods. We didn't book accommodations on line today and just called a motel after stopping in Rimouski. We lucked out as it's clean, reasonably priced and our back door opens onto a deck overlooking the St Lawrence. What a view.
