1486.0. "Quebec touring info?" by FRAGLE::ROSE () Wed Apr 04 1990 22:40

    I'm planning a trip for the beginning of July touring in Quebec
    (between Montreal and Quebec City.)  Can anyone suggest any
    information or sources of information for cycling routes and
    must see sights?  Any other tips would be much appreciated.

1486.1Look out for the drivers!LOOKUP::WARDThu Apr 05 1990 16:467
    Two things:  Drivers in Quebec are famous for being fast not giving
    cyclists much room.  French Canadian cyclists often head for Vermont.
    That said, there is at least one book on bicycle tours in Canada
    available.  I believe I have the pages on Quebec at home and can make
    you a copy.

1486.2Maps?FRAGLE::ROSESun Apr 08 1990 20:116
    I think I've got that book (The Complete Guide to Bicycling in Canada.)
    There is a bicycling map of Quebec which I haven't tracked down
    locally.  Any cental/eastern Mass. stores that might carry it?

1486.3Go East of QCFULCRM::GRIESMER2Thu May 03 1990 15:486
    In 1976, I cycled along the St Lawrence Seaway east of Quebec City.
    The first hundred miles aren't so scenic, but I highly recommend 
    the Gaspe' Peninsula: spectacular scenery; and the only place I've
    whale-watched from the saddle.
