Finishing the Trans Canada Highway!

Day 2  Degelis, Quebec to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

671 km

Jet lag still making me wake up at silly o'clock so decided on an early start. A bit of a shock to find frost on the bike but airtemp was above freezing and roads dry so all was good.

In fact sun came out and it was a wonderful warm day so thought I'd push on as rain forecast tomorrow.

I did.  Left Quebec Province, crossed New Brunswick Province, briefly entered Nova Scotia .. because I missed the Highway Divide ... and then crossed over the amazing Confederation Bridge - look it up -  on to Prince Edward Island.

Stayed the night in a beautiful - once - Heritage House - in Charlottetown. Needs a bit of TLC but had just been taken over by a keen, young couple so let's hope.

As the main aim of the trip is to finish the Trans Canada Highway - with Iceberg and Moose Spotting considered a bonus - I'm not topping as much as usual because the weather forecast is dire... am seeng things to perhaps look into more on way back!

Day 1   Montreal to Degelis  523 km

On way...eventually! neither was i if honest...I booked it in February.

When I went to pick up bike it wasnt't ready...Service manager thought it was wanted tomorrow. Boss not much pleased... neither was i if honest...I booked it in February.

Anyway...all squared up, including new rear tyre given distance I was planning on doing and off at midday.

The bike is exactly like my own except a little older and more battle scars but it means one less thing to overcome on the Canadian highways!

I got out of Montra

l surprisingly easy .... and at last starting on a dream 5 years in waiting...that darn covid thing! 

Not much more to add really as just a fast pull to make up for delayed start.
