We are 1/2 way on our ride - the Maritime provinces and our interactions with Acadian culture are a set of great memories.  The next 1/2 of our ride is in Québec.  As the total ride is just over 2,000Kms, today we passed the 1,000Km distance. We've come to realize that our ride is not much different then a car tour, but at about 1/4 the speed.  It is a gentle roll-along, and not as arduous as we thought the peddling part might be. The great benefit of the bike is that we can stop on a bridge and look down at the nice streams or take a photo of a bird.  The final ride into Campbellton, on the edge of the Gaspé, was so beautiful, though there were some heavy showers en route (thank goodness for our Wet Coast Helly Hansens!).  The Dalhousie to Cambellton stretch was along the baie de Chaleur Bay, with interesting sea birds and views of the Gaspé. The Dans les draps de Morphée B&B is a beautiful residence, with huge rooms and wonderful colours and amenities - a great place to stay for an extra day, before our ride over the Gaspé and on to Rivière-du-Loup, three long rides in the upcoming days (19, 20, 21 August).
