Day 15 – Magog to Sherbrooke – 32 km
Trail: moderate hills; 139 m up, 199 m down; 17 km paved, 15 km unpaved; A
I had a change of plans. Originally I was going to stay in Sherbrooke for 2 night's, resting one day. On the advice of an "in the know" waiter in Granby I decided to stay one night in Magog and one night in Sherbrooke. Unfortunately, it was raining when I arrived and since Magog is an outdoorsy town, I didn't have much of an opportunity to partake in local activities.
I stayed at À L’Ancestrale B&B in Magog. The home was clean and the bed comfortable. The host was incredible. She had tea when I arrived, an excellent and filling breakfast, and as if that wasn’t enough, she gave me a dry place to work on my bike. Oh, and then to top it off, while I was fixing my tire, she came out with a large bag lunch, at least half the size of my already full bike pack. Highly recommended.
There are plenty of boathouses along the Magog River and an electrical power plant.
Magog is on Lake Memphremagog and activities are heavily based around the water such as boating, sailing, kayaking, eating & drinking, swimming, sun bathing, biking, walking. I would definitely give this town 3 days in the future. It may be a real gem.
I started the day by repairing my flat tire. I found a 2-3 mm thorn that had poked through the tire and punctured the tube. I removed it, replaced the tube and away I went, but not before the host got out an air compressor to properly inflate my tire.
Leaving Magog, I was faced with a detour. After taking surface streets back to the trail, I realized the TCT was in better condition than Quebec roads. Keep up the good work on the trails!
Even though I ended the day at a lower elevation, the trail was up and down. Not like the past two days where the trail was more like a “scream like a little girl” kind of roller coaster. Today, the trail was much more like long gentle hills, climbing for a km or so and then downhill for a km or so. The ride was fun. I just smiled all the way down the hills.
I arrived in Sherbrooke in the afternoon. After the detour and then missing a trail marker (La Route Verte forked to the right at l'Eglise St-Roch in Rock Forest while the TCT continued straight ahead) I rode an additional 13 km, so it took longer than planned. Sherbrooke is the city of "too many hills". I took my bike and coasted to a restaurant in 10 minutes and it took me almost 30 minutes to get back. It’s at the confluence of the Magog and St. Francis rivers, a university town with large building murals, waterfront activities, and a very cool train station microbrewery/restaurant - Siboire.
It’s also home to the massive Petites Sœurs de la Ste-Famille Convent.

Sherbrooke, 10-M. Fernand Dufresne, directeur de la police de Montréal, a adressé hier au chef de police Camirand, de cette ville, une dépêche dans laquelle il signale la disparition de Montréal de trois Italiens accompagnés de femmes et qui sont recherchés depuis quelques jours, pour vols à main armée dans la métropole. Les trois Italiens et leurs compagnes, à ce que croit le directeur Dufresne, voyagent dans un Pontiac portant la licence Québec 54642 de 1933. On ignore la direction qu'ils ont prise.

And the Tall Tales Continue to be Told -- Linda Knight Seccaspina
Memphre, the monster, is probably the oldest Eastern Townships story ever talked about. Yet these stories are part of my life as I believe in fairies, sea monsters and things that go bump in the night. In 2021 I wrote a story about an early morning in 1972 when I was staying at a motel that faces Lake Memphremagog, Quebec. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Memphre, the legendary sea beast that…
