Day 10 - Another day with a headwind
The day started off with a great breakfast at he Place D’laurier Sears store in Quebec City. We were greated by Sears employees and enjoyed their hospitality. We made our way to the Quebec hospital to where we were privileged to meet a young woman who was diagnosed with ALL speak about her battle with cancer and provided us with some words of encouragement that we will have good days and bad but you’ll push through the bad. Marie was 12 years old.
From there we left the hospital to go to the Sears store in Levis where again we were greated by Sears associates and had the opportunity to meet a man who joined the ride, Jerry, who rode with us to Mont Magny. Jerry, who was over 60, has competed in 7 double ironman competitions and holds the world record for his age group. I think we found a 2010 National Rider. After his treat of cheese curd the group carried forward to St. Alexandre de Kamouraska. The group battled 30 plus km an hour head wind which challenged the riders. We felt like we were back in Saskatchewan.
We will be moving forward to Moncton to do our second last day where we will ride from Moncton through PEI.
