And another rainy day start. Yes I know, I'm on the east coast so I should expect this. And I do but every day? 

So todays is riding to the most western and northern parts of the island. I do get brief glimpses of blue skies and sunshine but they do not last long.

As I'm riding out to the western point I notice a lot of the back roads have "No Exit" signs on them. These I found out are the roads I want to ride on. (...)

Well it finally looks like it will be a fairly good day.

The tent has almost dried out and the sun is peeking through the clouds. Still cool but at least the temperature is now in to the double digits.

Loaded up I head out on dry roads and the day is looking good. (...)

I will leave you with pictures of a deer that came in to the campground.

Rained most of the way through Quebec and slowed down once I reached New Brunswick.  (...)

Day seven was a more relaxing day. I was planning to go to another park but spent the day doing laundry and some maintenance on the bike.

Rode in to town to to grab a larger bag to pack the tent in, then buy some more beer and fill up with gas in preparation for leaving tomorrow.

I was invited over to the neighbours camp site so I went over and spent some time with them. Then off to bed early for tomorrows ride to New Brunswick

Well day six starts with another cold night, very cold. I was warm all bundled up in my sleeping bag and wearing a toque but when I had to go out and use the facilities, damn was it cold.

I usually will use my fleece or hoodie as a pillow when I camp just to carry less stuff but since I was wearing my fleece most of the time I realised I needed to get me a pillow. (...)

Day five. I thought I'd be smart an pack up what I could the previous night so it wouldn't take long to get going in the morning. Well it seems this doesn't work at least for me.

It took me two and one half hours to get going this morning with the majority of the time being the disassembly and packing of the tent. Especially when it is wet. Then trying to stuff it back in to its original bag.

After leaving the camp site I choose to take the ferry across the Ottawa river.  (...)
