Day 51. Riviere du Loup to Cabano. June 18. 74 km.

Today started out normally, with a nice breakfast in the hotel. We met a young guy from Quebec City who was bicycling around the Gaspe to meet some friends. Then it was time to face reality because the forecast was for rain and it had already started.

As soon as it seemed to let up a bit, we started for the rail trail into New Brunswick. With the recent rain, it was not as easy to ride as when it is dry. Nevertheless it was well protected from the wind. About halfway to the high point at St Honoree the rain started in earnest. Eventually we realized that we couldn't beat it so we went to a motel in Cabano after riding just 74km. You can say that today was a bit of a washout.
