When I left Lévis this morning after a nice buffet style breakfast at Hotel l’Oie des neiges, the temperature was already at 24.5 degrees, hot enough to change out of the denim shirt I had on under my riding jacket into a t-shirt. That turned out to be the right call as the temperature rose steadily to 34.5 degrees by the time I arrived at the charming B&B in Grand Falls, New Brunswick. The relatively short ride, 418 kilometres, allowed for ample time to ride on sections of secondary highways with much nicer views. Apologies for the moment as it seems that I can’t upload pictures on my blog. I will try to fix this problem shortly
Grand Falls is a nice small city but it was challenging finding somewhere to have dinner in the end I settled for a oh-hum burger and fries at Jack Fries on Broadway Boulevard.
And then, heeding the suggestion of local biker I met, I purchased and installed a set of deer whistles on my bike; unlike duck calls say, they are intended to ward off, and not attract, those crazy animals that jump into the paths of oncoming vehicles. I don’t know if they work but I can report that no deer ever lurched out in front of my previous bikes after I had kitted them out with these devices, so there!
Tomorrow I continue eastward. Hopefully it won’t be as hot.
