Quebec City to Saint-Jean-Port-Joli! July 28/14

We left beautiful Quebec City under threatening skies and they didn't disappoint. And they did it with unseasonably cold conditions.

We crossed the river to Levis and consulted with a local as to the best way to head to Ste. Jean Port Joli and he told us to use the Route Verte Bike Path so off we peddled. It wasn't long before we realized the Route Verte Bike Path was leading us in the wrong direction. This has happened to us a number of times before because of inadequate signage. I think people are stealing the signs because of the popularity of Route Verte amongst cyclists. So it was back onto the road, #132, where there was no chance of loosing our way.

Today we had a constant head wind with gusts in the 30km/hr range and combined with the unseasonably cold rain caused Karin to become hypothermic and down to a crawl speed wise. Bailed into a cheap motel after a hundred kilometers for Karin to warm up.
