Jour 2 - Mont St-Pierre to Grande Vallée (cont'd)

Fun came in as a 3 km ride up a 13% grade hill at a place called Ste-Madeleine de la riviere Madeleine. Things got more exciting when I had a rear tire blow out heading down an 11% hill. My rear tire was blown right off the rim. Helene was a ways down the road and heard the sound of the tube pop. No harm done fixed the wheel and off we went!
We finally made it to our camp ground and each enjoyed a cold beer and Doritos. As we sat down for supper, we were rudely interrupted by a couple of whales frolicking in the Gulf of St Lawrence!!

Mileage for the day 63kms, the last 20 kms being very challenging (http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3045657)
Can you see the whales?
