Another perfect bicycling day, which unfortunately means
there is not much to say. After leaving Dosquet the bike path starts following
several urban parks, where lots and lots of folks were using the opportunity
for doing some Saturday morning exercise. Approaching the St. Lawrence River I
had to cross the Parc des
Chutes-de-la-Chaudiere, which if I remember correctly is where the first
hydroelectric plant was built in the province
of Quebec Canada . The Chutes-de-la-Chaudiere themselves are some pretty waterfalls, which
the tourist can admire from the middle of an imposing hanging bridge.
The next leg of the trip gets a little tricky, due to poor
signalization of the Route Vert. However,
“preguntando se llega a Roma” and by asking I soon took the right path and
eventually made it to the south shore of the St. Lawrence
River . This is an extremely posh area, with small villas built by
the shore of the river. In the distance across the river, the beautiful city of
Quebec tempts
the traveler to cross the river, but for today I will stay on the south shore
since I am not expected in the city until tomorrow.
My left knee is definitely hurting by now. I seem to recover
just fine overnight, and am good for about six hours the following day, but
anything more than that is asking for trouble. I am not a fan of creams, for I
don’t think they penetrate the impermeable skin, but I may make an exception tomorrow
when I get to the city, even if it only for the placebo effect.
