In fact, the Route Verte passed 10 ft from the parking lot. The riding--about 330 miles--took us 7 days. We were taking our time, and could have done it in 5 if we weren't cutting some days short in order to hit campgrounds.
Seaworthy -- You sounded very much like someone we met at a restaurant in North Hatley, except that couple was from New Brunswick I think. They parked at the QC station near the bridge. We boarded our return train from the QC station at the Vieux Port Gare. I recall they rode about 100k per day, while we putzed along at about 60-70 k per day. great ride! Here is a link to some of our pics:
