The Lac Saint-Jean Bike Trip

Covering roughly 870 miles (1400 km), Chris, Julie, Léo, and Charlotte will pedal to Lac Saint-Jean from Waterloo, Quebec passing through Sherbrooke, Quebec City, and return via the Saguenay River to the south shore of the Saint-Lawrence river, back to Quebec City, Drummondville, Julie's parents and eventually Waterloo. We have planned five weeks for the trip which will be our first of this kind. Our estimated departure date is for July 11, 2011.

Tent goes up

Today Charlotte and I put up the Lac Saint Jean trip tent. It took less than ten minutes. This will be our first family trip where we will use only one tent. In past car and bike trips we used two tents.

Bike trip to grandmaman's

Julie, Chris, Leo and Charlotte had some free time before Léo started first grade. They decided to bike to Saint-Bonneaventure to visit Julie's mom. 

Day 1 

We left Waterloo around noon and stopped at a grocery store to buy some stuff.

Here is Chris attaching the chariot to his bike. Check out Léo's bike fixed to the trailer.

 

Below is a clip of Charlotte and Leo playing on the shore alongside the Saint-Francois river on its way to the Saint Lawrence.
