I'm leaving Saturday morning for Montreal and back in Quebec Sunday in the afternoon. The first weekend won't be too bad, only 300 miles.

Next week I'll leave Friday morning for Mont-Laurier, my home town, 2.5 hours north of Ottawa, and 300 miles from Quebec City. I'll be back Sunday in the afternoon.

It's funny you talked about the wind, that rang a bell. The road I'll be taking between Quebec City and Montreal is following right along the north shore of the St-Lawrence river. When I cycled around the Ile d'Orleans a couple years back I remember they recommended going around in a specific direction in order to take advantage of the wind which was going in one direction in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I wonder if that have anything to do with the tides. I'll have to check to see if I can take advantage of that.
