A late start to the day, I didn’t wake up until 8:45 am! Ralf went to get a cooked breakfast from Tim Hortons and we eventually left the motel at 10:45 am, the latest we have started the mornings ride.

The motel had a \”lovely\” view of the pulp mill.

Edmundston has a big lumber industry. The pulp mill is the biggest one we have seen and it appears to be right in the centre of Edmundston.

The sun was out and it was a warm day. The ride was very scenic along the river and passing many small villages. The churches today were very interesting and different architecture and construction.

We arrived in Grand Falls just after 2:00 pm. Grand Falls as it name indicates is a Town that has a very large waterfall and gorge. There was not a lot of water flowing over, but the gorge itself was very impressive.

Ralf spotted this bikini shoot.

We took a path along the gorge and met a wonderful lady. Lea and Sonia were walking along the trail. Lea is blind and rides a tandem with her partner she wants to get a better tandem so that they can go faster and farther. The farthest distance they did this year was 75 kms. Awesome lady, what an inspiration.

I also got an email from a couple that we had met in May, we have inspired them to begin the plans for a trip similar to ours.

After a nice wander around the gorge area we cycled to our campsite. The campground was quite nice and the picnic table had a cover which was nice. The site was grass we knew we were going to have a wet tent in the morning.

Finally, I now know how to add a \”subscribe tab\” to the website. Dan (our warmshowers host in Kingston) sent me an email suggesting the subscribe tab and giving me a link on wordpress. It was really easy to do. If you want to subscribe to the blog, which means you will get an email whenever I post a blog, go to the home page and at the bottom of the page on the right is a subscribe button! Thanks Dan for telling me about this.
