P'tit Train du Nord - Val David to St Jerome

Our last day today, and we need to get back to St Jerome by 1pm.  Plans are made to breakfast at 8am and depart at 9am.  Unfortunately, breakfast is not served until 9am!  This adds a certain pressure to put some pace on as we ride.  The scenery that we ride past is particularly pretty this morning, with Autumn colours beginning to show.  Eventually the need to take a picture is too much and we stop for a break.

 

The final station before St Jerome is called Provost 

 

and we stop to buy a post card 

 

We also  find that they are selling fresh out the oven chocolate muffins ( these didn't survive long enough to be photographed!)

Amazingly we get back to St Jerome by 12.30.  Today much of the ride is downhill, there was a tailwind and the asphalt track was pretty good, these factors all may have helped!

 

 On the bus home it seems that the riding has taken its toll!

But overall a great holiday with great group of people!  
(Richard, Jackie, John, Sarah, Stuart, Sally, Mary, Chris and myself!)

 

 

Thanks to Stuart for organizing!
