We will follow the St. Lawrence Seaway out of Montréal along La Route Verte and other bike paths. Discover lesser-known roads and bike pathways along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Step back in time and experience a unique cultural landscape. Enjoy the vibrant sights and sounds of Montréal and Quebec City and the picturesque towns and landscapes along the route.
From Quebec City, we will cross to the south side of the St. Lawrence Seaway and ride to Mont-Joli, and then head towards Campbellton, New Brunswick and along the Acadia Coast in New Brunswick to the Confederation Bridge.
We will spend a few days on Prince Edward Island, including a rest day in Charlottetown, before taking a ferry from Wood Islands, P.E.I. to Caribou, Nova Scotia. With less than two weeks to go until we reach our destination of St. John’s, we will pass through Antigonish, Cape Breton Island, take a ferry to Newfoundland, and then pedal on to St. John’s. After 8275 km and heaps of unforgettable experiences, St. John’s will be our final destination.
Most residents of the Quebec and the Atlantic regions will tell you that August and September are their favourite months as temperatures range between 15 and 34 degrees Celsius. August and September months frequently offer splendid weather conditions. The weather in this region of Canada is also an attraction all by itself with a fascinating array of types of weather: fog, cold, rain, wind, but also a lot of sun and warmth. The weather is unpredictable. Being close to water for much of this route also means that there is usually a breeze and at times can get quite windy. A warm and sunny day can turn cold and drizzly fast. Or otherwise. That’s why locals often say: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes”. Daytime temperatures can allow for shorts and short-sleeved shirts. But, be sure to pack a sweater or light fleece, pants, and a rain jacket for cooler days and nighttime. Always be prepared to dress in layers.
