Despite the late night a lot of people left camp early. I left before Sam and when he caught up he was with Matt. We rode together for the day.
Early on the cue sheet we weren't sure which way to turn but confirmed with my phone and it was correct. Parts of the road were obscured by fog on some downhill portions before we turned on the main highway.
On the cue sheet said that today was a payback for yesterday. I'm not sure what that meant exactly. It wasn't too bad although the headwind was effecting others quite a bit. I found the day long and a little hit but not too bad.
At 67 km we stopped for lunch at nice place that was at the top of a very steep hill. As we were leaving the town at Causapscal I passed a convenience store and thought that I should get some water but didn't. The cue sheet said the next town was the last place for services but when we got there everything was closed.
At Routierville we went off course to drive over the beautiful covered bridge. It apparently had had some work on it lately to lift it higher above the river to prevent it from being washed away when the river is high.
On the other side of the bridge we hoped to get some water but there was only an art gallery so we checked it out. The gentleman there was very nice and showed us his wife's art and the magazines that it had being published in. He offered to fill out bottles and we accepted.
We continued on the route and stopped once more at a gas station to eat a couple of PBJ's and get a cold drink before we left Quebec. After that and before we crossed the bridge into New Brunswick we stopped at the Quebec sign and I got a picture at the sign because I didn't get one when we entered Quebec. Then crossed the bridge and got a picture with the New Brunswick sign.
