            Pointe Claire to Malone, New York  130 km

We left Pointe Claire at 9 AM and headed west to Vaudreuil, the Soulange Canal and Valleyfield.  At the St Lawrence Seaway we waited for 20 minutes for a boat to go under the bridge.   We passed through the village of Huntington, under a covered bridge and then through the metropolis of Elgin, Quebec.   We tried crossing at Jamison Road, but we were refused entry because Euro Tim is an alien.  We trekked 15 km down the road to Trout River and entered the USA legally.  We then rode just 18 km to Malone but it was uphill all the way.

            We found the first day to be tough.  Somewhere around the 100km mark we both were wishing for a shower, supper and a beer.   This being Sunday we had to settle for a shower and supper.
