Missouri KATY Trail Bike Tour – Sights and Sounds
Today was our last day riding the KATY. Despite a forecast that predicted rain was likely as we headed west, we managed to stay dry on our ride. That was our goal. We were quite happy about that after yesterday. Today was basically the same ride as yesterday – only in reverse – Augusta [...]
Today was the kind of day on the bike that pushes you beyond your usual limits. This is not a day I would have chosen to ride – but ride we did. And right now I’m glad we did. Even during the ride/slog I knew I would finish the ride out, although we could [...]
We left Hartsburg around 9:45 after after a wholesome and delicious breakfast complements of Globe Hotel owner, Jeanette. We said goodbye to the five from Oregon/Florida and wished each other safe travels. They are riding over 2000 miles on their journey – and I envy them. More about them in a later post. We [...]
Today the cycling gods smiled upon us with spectacular weather and a harder packed trail surface. It was also easier because today was really flat, whereas yesterday was often a 1-3% grade climb. Not steep obviously, but after miles of it along with the softer surface, it was a harder ride than today. Could [...]
Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec – Vieux Quebec City September 10, 2010 If you have spent any time at all on this blog you know I like bikes. If you were around last July or if you’ve looked around much and noticed the 30+ posts I wrote on the Tour de France – you [...]
~Trois-Rivières to Quebec City~ 85 miles We left our lunch stop at Deschambault committed to riding the rest of the way to Quebec City – about 45 miles. Committed, and excited. Some of you are probably thinking we should be committed for riding 85 miles! When we rolled away from Angelus Bistro it was [...]
Trois-Rivières to Quebec City ~ 85 miles When I woke up Friday morning, I was too busy thinking about the 90% chance of rain predicted and how to dress for it, to focus much on the miles (85, 70, 45), or to be nostalgic about it being our last day and how quickly in [...]
Day 5: Sorel-Tracy to Trois-Rivières – 54 miles Today brought something I have been looking forward to – cloud cover and a little cooler temperature. My skin needed both. Looking out the window of our hotel room you could see the St. Lawrence river. We would be following the St. Lawrence as we [...]
~The daily account of a 6 day Bike Tour from Burlington, Vermont to Quebec City, Canada~ Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to Sorel-Tracy – 61 miles Today, we leave Auberge Harris and Madame Boutin behind. Madame came out to see us off and to give us a map of cycling in the area, and a map case which [...]
