Hello Everyone. Finally an available computer, that likes my French and password.  The trip is progressing nicely.  We finished our 5th day of riding today with some mega climbs.  To date we have ridden 550 kilometers through fabulous terrain all the while escaping some of the promised torrential rain and wind. We arrived in Mont St- Louis this evening and shortly after pitching our tents the weather turned very ugly.  We will see what happens in the morning.  It is 2030 and I will be the last man standing if I don`t head off to bed.  One word on todays ride.  115 kilometers today with some of the steepest, longest climbs I can remember...but 60 has eliminated a lot of things from my memory.  All the boys are still speaking and having a great time.. Till next time. BFFBGBTM

Bathhurst .....and waiting

Greetings- We have all arrived in Bathurst.  Geo and I arrived late on Thursday evening after spending all day in the air and parked in Airports.  The evening of our arrival Pete informed us that Ian Cowie was planning to join us for the first two weeks. The trick was that he would be driving from Toronto...no small trick being that it is a 1400 km drive. No big deal he arrived late Friday night.  
We had originally planned to participate in Fiddles on the Tobique (something to do with dazed canoes, fiddlers and alcohol). It seemed as though Petie thought we would "fit right in."  Due to the somewhat nasty weather we begged off. The trip will officially begin tomorrow (Sunday) morning when a friend of Pete's will be dropping us off in Charlow NB. Hopefully, the weather will improve and the Banana will become somewhat more tolerable.
Good Day...BFFBGBTM

Tour D' Gaspe

After a successful bicycle tour of Montana in 2010, Petie, aka. Barbless has invited the Banana and myself ( Gravy Boat) to visit his side of the continent for a tour of the Gaspe Peninsula in the Province of Quebec. 
The Banana and I will meet up in Vancouver and fly to Bathhurst NB on Thursday the 23rd of June.  We plan to spend a day or so near Pete's, where some sort of debauchery is planned in a canoe with a bunch of crazies on fiddles (stay tuned).
The bicycle ride will commence soon thereafter.  We plan to ride around the Gaspe Peninsula with side trips North and to Quebec city.  The weather has looked imposing throughout North America. We can only hope things improve.
If we manage to work through the language barrier and can locate computers, pictures and messages should follow....If not...OH WELL!
