It remained warm @ 15º overnight with heavy rain until about 2 a.m. We were on our way under clearing skies at 8:30 and took the faster Autoroute 40 the 130 km to St. Jerome and km 0 of the Petit Train. Traffic was very heavy and slow going as we neared Montreal and turned north past Mirabel airport.
We were very lucky to find a large parking lot near the train station which was near Km 0.
It was partly cloudy, some wind and a pleasant 18º for our trek. Our intention was to bike to Ste Adele and back (25 km x2) but discovered sections of the trail were closed for paving which created rather long and hilly detours through some neighbourhoods.

The trail followed the river and passed through forested stretches.
We stopped at km 14 at the Prévost Station, shopped for souvenirs and decided to turn back. My bike battery was down to 60% and Kathy came upon yet another detour soon after continuing on and turned back.

With the detours we biked more than 28 km (14 km x2). Kathy's odometer read 46 km! We ate a late lunch when we returned to Harvee Too, loaded the bikes back on and drove only a few km to Camping Lac Lafontaine where we have 2 services, Wi-Fi , pull-thru site for $51.75. We drove 144 km.
