Day 31: Saint-Anne-de-la-Perade - Jackson, Bryson, & John Wood

By this point I could write a pretty long list of disadvantages of biking across Canada this early in the year. I think it's safe to say the biggest problem though is that the NHL playoffs are in full swing. This does not coincide well with our biking schedule. We were pretty weary heading out of Montreal this morning after game six.

After two warm days of biking, the temperatures dropped again. Hats and mitts were required. There was even a 20km/ hr headwind all day. Just like old times. Between the headwind and stoplights throughout the day, things were pretty slow going. The weather forecast doesn't look very favourable for the next couple of days either. This sparked a change of plans. Since we're one day ahead of schedule we'll spread out the next four days of cycling over five. This will get us back on track and make the distances a bit more manageable.

Despite the headwind, it was a very enjoyable day of cycling. The bike paths were great and winded through a lot of little towns which always gave us something to look at. Lots of other cyclists out as well. Our favourite was the guy unicycling while walking his dog in downtown Trois-Rivieres. We ended up biking until just outside of Saint-Anne-de-la-Perade. A campground complete with hedges, stained wood, and a nice restaurant conveniently appeared on the side of the road.
