Day 48 - Riviere Ouelle

Another day in Quebec, another day following the St. Lawrence north-east, but unlike the previous two riding days, this time we had a strong tailwind pushing us along. Riding at the front of the group was a breeze,exceeding 30 km/h with very little effort. With four of us taking turns, the ride went incredibly quickly. For the first time, all the riders (both groups) arrived at camp before the truck had time to check in.

Mother nature just couldn't make up her mind today. The entire ride we were in the midst of ominous looking clouds and from time to time it would sprinkle, prompting us to put on rain jackets, but it never properly rained.

When we were settled into our campsite, Chelsea put out this little jar of goodness:

Yes, peanut butter filled pretzels. We had them a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe how addictive they were. At first I was repulsed by the idea, but I tried one and just couldn't stop eating them. Isabel tells me the English term for this is "moreish".

Although the rain has mostly held off, it's getting pretty chilly in the tent. For the first time since the rockies, it might be a night for the toque.
