We thought the biking around Ottawa was good but in Quebec it’s better. Check out the BLOG!

This a bike/foot path over Aut-20 (the equivalent of the 401 in Ontario).

On Oct 1 we did about a 20K return bike trip directly from the RV park to just outside Levis.

You can’t help but be impressed by these bike paths.

This stop with the view by the St. Lawerence was spectacular. The path with the dotted line is for bikes only, the other side is for those on foot.

And you can see Montmorency Falls just across the river. We’ll visit it up close and personal tomorrow.

Second bike trip around 50K return. Started out same way as our previous trip but this time we went all the way into Levis. This is a new park by the ferry that goes to Quebec city. The view from this side is gorgeous.

You could just sit here all day and observe….but we just took a lunch break.

These fountains were pretty impressive. They constantly changed, kinda like the one in front of the Belagio in Vegas.

Had another cyclist ask me to take her picture here so she returned the favour and took my pic.

We biked west from Levis towards bridge to Quebec city. Tide was out….you forget that the St. Lawerence River is salt water when you get this far east.

Such a nice place to bike.

Relaxing

Relaxing back in Levis at the Ferry port on our way back to the RV park. These chairs were comfy!

Bike ride #3. This time instead of going into Levis, we headed south on the trail to see what it was like.

Fall colours were outstanding!

The path had nice pit stops like this when there was some historical info to share as well as bathroom facilities in key locations.

PA070024

It looked like a flat trail but it wasn’t….it was a long, long slow ride up hill.

It was about 30K to get to St-Anselme where they obviously love cyclists.

This bike was covered with a knitted bike cozy!

A few Ks further south we took our lunch break. There was supposed to be a falls somewhere along this river but it was supposed to start raining at 3pm so we didn’t waste any time looking for it. We wanted to get back before that started.

Nice view from on top of the bridge over the railroad tracks.

Yeah the sky is getting darker, thankfully the 32K ride back to the RV park was much faster because it was downhill.

Almost back, we beat the rain but after our longest bike ride ever, 63K in total we were ready for a nice cold beer.
