Another lovely summer day. It was the rest day, so no official ride today, although they did set out a regular route and an optional extension, which added up to 100 km.
We started out along the Restigouche estuary, got to Dalhousie, where it meets the Baie des Chaleurs, which was very pretty. We then came back West inland, which was less interesting, until we got past Campbelltown, where it turned hilly and forested. That is where the optional ride went up into some steep hills, interesting riding both physically and visually.
Two things struck me; first, the number of Acadian flags, and secondly the extraordinarily long freighter canoes that were stored in many peoples' yards. They must be 24 feet long, and they are clearly the preferred type of boat to have.
I was amused by the restaurant sign that seemed to advertise "poutine wings"!
