A fully loaded touring bike is actually not that hard to spin on down the road.
That same bike up a 16% grade weighs about 300 lb.
There are an incredible number of micro-brews in Quebec and I think we gave it a good try to sample them all.
Thank goodness most people in Quebec had better language skills than us or we'd be eating the same thing every day and sleeping in a ditch, but it did get a bit easier to decode menus and signage and stuff.
Esential gear- a rear view mirror and an I-pod.
Was fun in a twisted way to hit the wall and find our what exactly you are capable of.
Was fun to be able to eat even WAY more than I normally do and burn it all up.
Above all it's always the little things that stand out, the simple pleasures of a great ride with friends on a sunny day, a beer or 2 at the end and a hot shower.
Where to next year?
Thanks boys

Can't tell whose legs are whose, they are all so chiseled. Sounds like a great time. Thanks for the blog posts. Made it feel a little like I was there.
