Today was about as uneventful as yesterday was eventful. We got ready to bicycle and rode to the nearby A&W for their bacon, sausage and eggs breakfast. Then we took a bunch of backroads down to the river. Then we just followed Hwy 132 into Levis. The weather was warm, 20C right away and it got warmer as the day progressed. The roads were generally good and any wind was from behind. The land here seems rich as the crops looked very healthy.
Field along the St Lawrence that produced lots of hay.
In Levis we went to a CIBC bank machine and got a bit more cash. Interestingly, there seems to be fewer CIBC bank machines in Quebec meaning that we had to go out of our way rather than just do it anywhere. Also in Levis, we had a picnic lunch in a park on the water and had a short nap at a picnic table.
The rest of the ride into our hotel in Montmagny was easy and warm. One of the factors that made it easy was the effort that Quebec has put into bike paths.In many places bicycles have a two lane dedicated path. In other cases part of the road has been saved for a two-lane bicycle path.
Once at the Econolodge, the receptionist gave us an upgraded room with exterior access.
