Algonquin College Cycle Tour Guide: Day 2- The Rain Found Us

Luckily it did not rain over night, but we were under a pavillion at Mill Dam park in Shawville. Kyle and I boiled water for oatmeal and cooked 18 eggs mixed with onions, tomatoes and peppers for breakfast.

After, we shopped for lunch supplies while everyone snagged a coffee and we were leaving Shawville on time by 8:40. We took the PPJ (Pontiac Pacific Junction) right to Quyon. Along the way we picked up a frienfly dog who followed us for 8km. We luckily handed him off to the Stinson Gas station in Quyon where they knew the owner and returned him. From there our next checkpoint was Gatineau Park with a wicked climb to start it off. It was a windy road with many incline and declines along the way.

After leaving the park our final destination was Wakefield which was just west down the 148. When we arrived in Wakefield we were all wet and tired but excited to see the establishment where we would be camping. Lucky for us Ben had contacted the owner of Motel Alpengruss who provided us a room to shower and congregate to write this blog and debrief our day.

For dinner, Spencer and I made an Indian dish with a nice dessert to follow. The rain had kept steady all night so we took shelter under a large army tent on the property which Dylan and Jessica, the motel owners, also generously let us use.
