Gaspe

The Gaspe coast to truly beautiful, perhaps even more spectacular than the Cabot Trail. We met Paul along the way and rode together for a couple of days. He's riding one of those new three wheel Bombardier Spiders. This vehicle has a number of advantages including a reverse, the ability not to tumble over when stopped, semi automatic transmission with no clutch, F1 type paddle shifters. But, he couldn't counter-steer, rather he had to steer like a car and use his body to balance the change in direction.

On the first day we drove from Matane to Cap-des-Rosiers on the very tip of the Gaspe penisula in glorious sunshine. The next day, we awoke to rain, drove to Gaspe Village for breakfast, said goodbye to Paul at Perce, and continued on in the rain to New Richmond.

For those of you awaiting our video, we didn't forget to do one.....we just got the angle wrong. Rather than gorgeous rodes and spectacular cliffs, we got 30 min. of blue sky with the tips of trees and the occasional helmet top. On the next sunny day, we'll try yet again.
