What
a crazy day of riding. I let Doug know last night that I wouldn't
object to higher mileage days if we started earlier and took a couple
of good sized breaks during the day. So, quite predictably, Doug was
up, striking the tent with me in it at 6:30.
Pea
soup and boiled eggs for breakfast.
Riding
on the flats along the river is easy and after a while our speed came
up to the mid 20's. There are still lots of riders on the road from
the weekend. Doug played tag with a couple of velo riders. Coming
into Quebec
City
I spotted a velo rider about 300 M behind and we decided to have some
fun with him. Took the speed up to 28 ~ 30 and it took the fellow 20
mintes to catch us, and that only after I had to slow down to rest.
About 20 minutes later we came around a corner and there's Mr. Velo
stopped for a rest about 300 M ahead. He jumped on the bike and took
off.
Entering
the city I knew I could catch him. We were all blowing through red
lights in the light Sunday traffic and every couple of minutes
Mr.Velo would look back to see if we were still there.
