Even better than that....we walked from our hotel to Old Quebec for dinner on the Thursday night. It was straight uphill for about 8 blocks. About as straight up as any city streets I have ever seen.

There is no way in hell I could ever ride a bike from Montreal to Quebec, period. However, the MagicMaster would probably agree that he is not the most svelte man there ever was, and let's just say his kids are all grown up...he's not a kid himself. Biking that distance must have been quite a feat although he truly downplayed it.

At the top of the 'hill' as we neared the restaurant I asked him what was tougher...biking from Montreal to Quebec or walking up that hill.

You guessed it, walking up that hill.

Classic stuff, and just another enjoyable and random memorable moment on this journey.

Major props to you Magicman. Very inspirational stuff.
