From farmland to seacoast, a fun bike ride

I had a great bike ride from my house in Le Bic to Saint Fabien along the Gaspe Peninsula via back roads through rolling hills covered in hay and grain fields and other interesting sites. From Saint Fabien, I crossed Hwy 132, riding up and over the ridge to Saint Fabien-ser-Mur, a wonderful seaside village along the Saint Lawrence Seaway. I rode east on the small coastal road dotted with interesting homes and beautiful views of the water until it ended at Bic National Park. Below are photos of some of the things that caught my eye.
