July 24 - Cycling to Saint-Anne-de-la Perade





Leaving Quebec City on the bike path this morning was easier than when we entered the city. The bike paths were empty and the tourists must have still been sleeping. We passed many sculptures but my favorite ones were the horses. These sculptures conjure up the untold story of the horse's contribution to the building of the nation New France in 1608.

After the rain yesterday, the weather was mild, reaching only 70, and a perfect riding day. The roads in the morning were easy to navigate even though we ascended above the city. One path had a 20% grade downhill, forcing us to walk our bikes. In another location, steps with railings for bicycles were used to eliminate carrying the bikes.
