The end of Day 10 @ Trois Riviers

We had a good ride today but didn't do that many miles. 138 miles today and 2792 miles since we started. The ride along # 138 East was scenic and aromatic. There are lots of dairy farms along the way. Yesterday was interesting too. Ottawa is very historic. On our tour of the RCMP Musical Ride center we happened to run into an old friend of mine, Sgt. Jerry Mayo. We were in Lexington Kentucky together back in 1992 at the Mounted patrol symposium. He showed us around the place and we kept our stuff in his office while we were doing the tourist thing downtown. Another thing we couldn't help but notice was this. Oh yeah...We spent about 2 hours trying to meet up with a guy I had met through the "Blue Knights". We never did find him and finally stopped for a coffee at "Tim's"in the Vanier area of Ottawa. A retired postal worker sat down next to us and talked non-stop for the full time we were there , telling us about the attractions on our way to Quebec. When we left we still didn't know how to get to the road we wanted.
This morning right after breakfast we pulled into Repentigny at the tourist office and happened to meet a real nice couple from Pennsylvania who were on a tour like us but in the other direction.
