Day one of our relay took us from Quebec City to 40 km before the New Brunswick Boarder. After a very wet and stormy night in Quebec City the morning was bright and sunny with temps in the low 20s and a nice tail wind to push us along.
The full relay team has been divided into three riding groups, I am riding with team 2, Megan is riding with team three, so far I have been riding back to back so that I could be on the road with Megan.
First part of the day took us out along the St. Lawrance river valley, nice flat roads very quite and some of the prettiest areas to ride I have ever seen. Everyone commented on the fact that if felt like cycling through france, with all the pretty little town, with large churches, lots of neat little shops and tidy looking farms all along the route.
Megan had a great first ride with a solid 23km in just under and hour, so far everyone has enjoy riding with her. She finnished up with a very hilly ride comming into our ending spot for the night. Total distance on the day for her a little better than 35km. Great start.
The final 60km of the ride was very hilly section, with was a real test to the last two teams of the day, but just made the shower and supper that much better. In the evening we had a chance to eat supper as a group (cooked by our on ride chief) and time to sit around a chat. Cool to find out why everyone was doing this ride.
Early bed as another very early start in order to make our next stop in Woodstock in time to arrive during a fundraiser being put on in our honour.
