I think I'll pass on this adventure. I realize I'd need to be better equipped clothing wise and probably get a new seat too. Plus I have never rode even half this in a day; I'd probably need some training to see if my body will cope with it (knees especially).

Thanks for your help!

Morea: I was thinking about either going by the Route Verte or via the 138. The Sherbrooke is really hilly, I would understand how getting to Montreal would be a great challenge.
