Start: 3 pm from Parliament Hill
Finish: 5:50 in Papineauville
Total distance: 69 km
Today was by far the easiest 69 k I've ever biked - flat + tail wind = awesome.
We stopped near the end of our ride to pick some cattails - when we were little, we used to pick them, let them dry out and then "smoke" them. (We were so cool back then...I have no idea what happened since then ;) ). I stuck the cattails between my seat bag and my seat, and rode with the brown parts sticking out behind my behind. (Take a second to picture it) Sarah nearly lost it laughing when I started to ride and one of the cattails started creeping out. Not the greatest image but funny.
We're camping a little off our route tonight so Mom and Dad picked us up in Papineauville and they'll drop us back off in the morning. The campsite (Camping St. Andre Avellin) is pretty good for a private campground, and the 50 cents I paid for a shower was the best 50 cents I've spent in a long time. :)
Sarah re-packed our stuff tonight, so the van is now a haven of organization rather than a den of chaos. Kudos to her for that.
Sarah's friend lent her a "world champion cycling hat", and we've decided to award it to one of us each day. I won it today for cattail poops. Good times.

Glad to know you're keeping it classy.
