Day 53
Moosehead Lake — unbeschreiblich schön
September 22, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
9 Tage vor unserer Abreise von Halifax haben wir noch Zeit für 3 Tage Relaxing — und sind nun am Moosehead Lake in Maine, einem Tipp von unseren hamburger Freunden folgend. Und dieser See ist wahrlich Traum - und wir hatten auch noch Traumwetter, haben in einem Blockhaus direkt (!) am See gewohnt und hatten eine super nette Gruppe als Nachbarn, die uns an ihr Lagerfeuer eingeladen haben :))Read more
Traveler Das ist so mind-blowing :D

Woodpecker Wake-up
May 12, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
A broken night's sleep due to the ridiculously loud cacophony of bugs, critters and birds all throughout the night... It literally sounded like Test Day at the alarm factory

This Woodpecker and his mates started at 7pm trying every panel of the barn before sleeping off their headaches and restarting at 6am.

Here's my 'Awesome and unusual-for-Brits' wildlife tally so far :

Bald eagle
Ground Hog
Chipmunks
Osprey
Woodpeckers!Read more

Wenn man schon an so einem spannend großen See "wohnt", dann sollte man ihn auch zu Wasser erkunden ;) Und so sind wir über den 305 Quadratkilometer großen Moosehead Lake gedüst - für 2½ Stunden, dann hatten wir uns "satt gesehen' 🙃Read more

Day 7
Fahrt bis nach Quebec City
September 27, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C
Mittwoch, 27.09.

Den Weckservice übernahm um 7 Uhr die Müllabfuhr. 😆 Selbst die Tonnen der Privathaushalte sind hier eine Nummer größer.

Heute gab es wieder ein Selbstversorger-Frühstück. Wie hatten immer noch Brot, einen Bagel, Marmelade und Erdnussbutter übrig. Danach brachen wir auf und heute sollte es bis Quebec City gehen. Wir fuhren ca. 1 1/2 Stunden bis nach Riviere-du-Loup am Südufer des St. Lorenz-Stroms. Dort nahmen wir die Autofähre nach San Simeon am Nordufer. Die Überfahrt dauerte ca. 70 Minuten. Kostenpunkt für 1 Auto und 2 Passagiere umgerechnet 66€.

In San Simeon angekommen, fuhren wir wieder von der Fähre und setzten unseren Trip fort. Wir machten kurze Zeit später Rast am Plage Municipale De St-Irénée, einem hübschen Strand am St. Lorenz. Unglaublich, dass ein Fluss so breit sein kann. Es war sehr nett dort und wir spazierten auch noch den Pier entlang. Zwei weitere Aussichtspunkte mit Flussblick steuerten wir auch noch an. Anschließend ging es mehr oder minder, bis auf einen Tankstopp, durch bis zu unserem Quartier. Wir checkten im Hotel Cofortel ein und waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Standard. Hier war alles sehr modern.

Abendessen gab es heute bei A&W gegenüber. Sie haben wirklich die besten Burger weit und breit.Read more

Day 12
Grand Falls (of doooom)
May 13, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
I've still not accustomed myself to the schizophrenic climatic changes and, frankly, I'm running out of time - this might be my last night in New Brunswick! Which means that, cycling around the corner, complete with a comedy string of onions around its neck is.... Quebec! Arghhhhh (eh-ho-eee-ho-eeee-ho)

...

My mood generally revolves around my qualify of sleep and what with the New Brunswick Zoological Philharmonic playing all night, together with the crashing Stomp rhythms of the night's rain on tin roof, today's been a bit of a struggle. Headwind, icy rain and mainly highways... I was relieved to manage 50 miles and happy to see that my destination campsites was closed (despite showing open online).

The Grand Falls lived up to their name though, I just wish my phone could have captured the subsonic, chest-rattling reverb as wave after wave endlessly pounded rock after rock after rock. I love feeling gloriously insignificant when Mother Nature shows her true colours.

A canabis-fumigated Happy Motel is my welcome stop....oh shower... I've missed you.Read more

Day 13
Double decker bodge
May 14, 2023 in Canada ⋅ 🌬 7 °C
Check out this bodge!

The Raleigh universal rear rack that I picked up on Canadian Tire just wasn't inspiring confidence, even compared to my knackered Bontrager, so, I've stolen some bits to sure it up and half installed the rest - seemed the best way of packing it as a spare.

Several people stopped to chat in French as I've been bodging outside the store - one guy even asked when my last hot shower was and offered one! I must look really manky since I only showered an hour ago 😬

Hey ho....I've even got a crappy rear reflector now! Woohoo!

Luckily it's only a 40miler today...and the campsite says it's open from April (to be believed?)

Let's see... Onwards!Read more
Traveler Glad it’s sorted!!

Day 13
Mech fail #1
May 14, 2023 in Canada ⋅ 🌬 6 °C
Just packing up in Edmunston and noticed the main bolt holding my rear pannier rack is missing on one side. This has put a huge amount of oddly-angled strain on the otherside which has just sheared through the main aluminium support on that side.

Not good.

It's amazing it hasn't caused more damage since the unbolted rack must have been bouncing on my disc brake. It was fine during my morning mech checks so must have come loose during the day... Guess I need afternoon checks going forwards too.

I've swapped a bolt from a less load-bearing point, gaffa-taped the pole together, and ziptied the rack to the saddle post . The motel owner has kindly found me a bolt which doesn't fit properly but might take some of the strain.

It won't hold. Plus it's Sunday so the local garages are closed, but, with a little luck I might find some options in Canadian Tire (there's not much they don't sell)...if it's open.Read more
