Breakfast at Mange Grenouille was another treat! B had omelette and Y had florentine crêpe. We were also in for a treat with the beautiful and interesting ride, in part, again, right on the edge of the St. Lawrence seaway. Also, yeah, the wind was from the east, at our back, so we made quick work of the hills and sailed along the flattish bits and downhills! We've left our bikes in good hands overnight and tomorrow with the mechanics at Cyclo Expert in Rivière-du-Loup and will pick them up after our whale-watching tour tomorrow, or when they are ready. (N.B. & FYI: The ubiquitous element of roadside debris seems to be banana peels. There are lots of gloves, tire bits, rubber tie-downs, and occasional socks - including one quite nice looking pair of riding socks - as well as unfortunate little animals, 1/2 bottles of ice tea (:-), partial ice cream cones, and broken car parts or glass, but nothing beats out banana peels. Y has photographed some of the peels and proposed to B that maybe people who eat bananas are comfortable with littering, or that crows find no nutritional value in banana peels, as she has only seen one orange peel and one apple core and there have been 2-6 banana peels per day since leaving St. John's. B replied that it is more likely that banana peels are less aerodynamic than other tossed biodegradables - but of course!)
