Hi Everyone,

I am across from Quebec in Levis.  

This morning I left with the intention of riding on the Route Verte trail
as the terrain to Quebec was supposed to be fairly flat and I ended up 
riding almost the entire day on the Route Verte trail.  The exception 
was as I approached Levis the sign for the direct route disappeared and 
a policeman stopped me to ask if I needed help with navigation.  He said 
that the route 1 sign to the left (Levis via Quebec) went through the old
 town and that I continue on the street I was on Hwy 132 for another 5 km 
to go to downtown Levis.  I had already gone further than 2 km pass the 
Levis 2 km route 1 sign so I was thoroughly confused on what is actually
 Levis.  

I continued for several km on Hwy 132 and found another route 1 sign 
and turned to find a bike path which was great as I was tired of fighting
 the traffic.  Then I rode on the bike path for another 4 or 5 km and got
 to the ferry terminal.  Now I knew I was in the heart of Levis as I 
looked at the map the night before to find out how to get to Quebec to 
sightsee and Joe had mentioned the ferry as great for viewing the cliffs.

The problem was that the hotels are at the top of the cliffs on the 
Levis side as there are cliffs on both sides of the St Lawrence River.  

I don't know where all the traffic in Levis comes from or maybe I just
 ran into rush hour but the hotels are on Blvd Kennedy and I made better
 time riding on the sidewalks because the traffic is truly bumper to bumper.

You may get this email a bit late because I have a wifi connection but 
server problems.  Maybe I can send but not receive.


The Statistics:  75.91 miles and 659 feet of climb all in Levis.
