Quebec's Premier Cycle Route: Continuing Along the King's Road

We continued our ride today on the King’s Road, covering nearly fifty miles to reach the small town of Portneuf, Quebec. The ride took us along the St. Lawrence shoreline and through beautiful countryside dotted with quaint little French colonial towns. The bike route is one of the best we have ever ridden, with wide shoulders for riders and respectful drivers who ensure you have plenty of room. Car traffic has been minimal since the summer season has not yet begun here. We appreciate Quebec’s excellent biking infrastructure, and given the large number of cyclists we have seen, it is clear that cycling is one of Quebec’s most popular sports. Apparently, over half of the province’s population engages in cycling, and many people from Quebec use their bikes as a mode of transportation. Tomorrow, we will ride to Quebec City, which is the terminus of the King’s Road.
