Subject:      bikes & buses trip report 1 - bus count
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Finally on our way to cover the bike races in Quebec, thought I'd distract everyone from the techie talk with an early trip report.
Left Toronto Sat 2 pm, camped just east of Cornwall (Riverside-Cedar Park). Then on to Mont Sainte Anne. Long drive, glad we split it in 2.


The camper was hard to start this morning, will see how tomorrow looks, although we don't need to go anywhere for a few days. And my tach became intermittent around when we got to Quebec city, either a slipping belt or a loose wire (diesel tach hooked up to alternator)... will check that tomorrow too. 


Buses seen along the way (and I've chuckled over the fine points, my view is "VW that's not a car counts". So...
Spits:          0
Bays:           2, both westbound
V'gons: 2, both westbound (plus us, eastbound)
EVs:            9, d@mn y'all... only got passed by one though :) My favourite was the Pedros, loved the paint job & hope to find it here at MSA to send along some photos


Tomorrow will be riding bikes, looking forward to stretching my legs.


I'll be posting personal trip photos on picasa...
