Day 48. Montebello to Joliette. June 14. 148 km.

Breakfast was surprisingly similar to last night's dinner. Unusual but tasty and nutritious. Getting started was very easy as we were at the east end of town. The roads were good and the weather was warm and dry.

We followed Hwy 148 all the way to Lachute, where Hwy 158 started. We took it into Saint -Jerome, where we stopped for an ice cream cone. Over ice cream, we decided to go on to Joliette and called ahead to book a room.

There was nothing remarkable about the ride other than the weather was good and the roads were good. Even with favourable conditions, we were happy to stop pedalling and settle into our motel room. Then we walked down to Giant Tiger for a few food items and then on to Boston Pizza for dinner. Over dinner we looked at the map and saw that we should be able to cross the St Lawrence at Trois Riviere tomorrow and start following the south shore toward Riviere du Loup. The distance covered today was 148km.
