Day 63

Wednesday, August 25th
Amqui (PQ) to Campbellton (NB)
105km

Short ride today, but very scenic.  We followed the Matapedia River, which is (apparently) a world class fly fishing destination.  The river was shallow and clear, so we could see the rocks at the bottom.  It cut through a valley along with route 132 and a set of train tracks.  There were rolling, evergreen-packed hills on either side of the road.

It was 3 degrees celcius when we woke up this morning.  We were all chilled to the bone, and rushing around to put on our cold weather clothing.  About 8km into the ride, we stopped for a hot chocolate and to warm up inside.

Throughout the day, it gradually got hotter and hotter.  This became a problem when I ran out of space to carry my unwanter clothing items.  By 50km, I was down to my warm weather apparel with extra stuff shoved in every pocket and my trunk bag full.

Just passed Matapedia, we crossed into New Brunswick and the Atlantic time zone.

The towns of Atholville and Campbellton were very close to the camp site, so we stopped into a library to use the internet and a Walmart to pick up a few things.
