Day 100: Quebec city (rest day)

I had seen an article in the local papers about some cycling taking place in Quebec City this weekend. I think it was meant to be that we were in town on the same day that this event took place.
And it wasn't just some cycling event, it was the Grand Prix de Quebec, a UCI event for the world's best cyclists!
Even the world champion was here!

We took the bus to the ferry port, took the ferry over the river and saw the cyclist zoom past on the very first lap of the race.
Sixteen laps of a 12.6km course meant 200km of racing, so we took our time and walked the course, stopping every 15-20 minutes to watch the cyclists whizz past.

Matt and Amy spent the day doing art and coffee while Stephen and I walked the course, went to the fan village, entered every competition we could, sampled new Clif bar flavours and wound up at the finish line watching Peter Sagan, the world champion, win.

We headed back to the ferry terminal after the race and met up with Matt and Amy. Once off the ferry and bus and back at camp, we moved our tents and bikes to the park next door to the campsite. We had checked it out earlier in the day and decided it was perfect for a sport of free camping.
It was an old fort and was well looked after, so we pitched our tents out of sight of everybody and had a great night.
