Northeast Kingdom and Southern Quebec

A street in Quebec City

My buddy Michael and I set out to Canada again, this time riding from Vermont's Northeast Kingdom through New Hampshire up to Quebec City.  Then we rode back on the Route Verte along the St. Lawrence, dropping down through Quebec's Eastern Townships, before arriving back in Vermont.  After Quebec City, the part we enjoyed the most was the hundreds of miles of groomed stone trails throughout the Eastern Township area, just north of Vermont.
