My friend and I are planning a bike trip in Quebec for the first week of September. The Gaspe peninsula is our first choice, but we have some questions about it. First, are the roads there good for biking (either not very busy, or having a reasonable shoulder)? On our map, it looks like there is mainly one road, route 132, which makes a large loop. Are there other routes we should consider? Second, just how mountainous is it? We're also considering going to the St. Laurent Bas area; the travel books we've looked at don't emphasize its natural beauty as much as they do the Gaspe peninsula's, but it looks like it might be an easier place to find nice bike routes. We would really like any information about biking in southeastern Quebec (pointers, experiences, suggestions for places we've overlooked). Please send responses to me, and I will summarize them for everyone. Thanks in advance! Susan Coombs scoombs@bbn
