Rockland |
0 km |
Leave Rockland by riding east on Laurier St.
(which becomes Tucker Rd.). |
| |
3 km |
Be sure to turn right on Montée Outaouis. If
you continue straight ahead you will find yourself on (the very busy) C.R.
#17, and that would definitely be a mistake! |
| |
4 km |
At the T-intersection, turn left on to C.R.
#8 (Landry St.). |
| |
5 km |
At the lights, cross over busy C.R. #17 and follow
Old Hwy. 17 (which later becomes rue Principale). As the name suggests, this
is the old highway and, although it is very quiet, it is a little rough in
parts! |
| |
16 km |
Town of Wendover (country store). |
| |
21 km |
When you eventually reach the stop sign at
C.R.17, you will need to
turn left and follow this busy road for about 500 m. |
| |
22 km |
Shortly after crossing the bridge over the
South Nation River (in Jessups Falls), be sure to turn left on N.
Plantagenet Rd. #21. This is a delightful road for cycling since it is very
quiet, has a good surface, and remains close to the Ottawa River. |
| |
29 km |
Jog L/R on to C.R.24 in the village of
Treadwell. C.R.24, which you follow for the next thirty kilometres, is
another excellent road for cycling. |
