Rolling hills through country lanes in wooded areas. We pass in front of the Rockburn pub. The lunch stop is in Franklin, the best place for drinking spring water in Quebec. The 70 km ride is a bit more challenging after lunch but the descents are carefree. Cyclists may also enjoy the quiet bike path by the wood in Ste-Clothilde.The 77 km ride is more demanding, particularly the Stevensen hill. Note the need for caution in descent down Covey Hill. There is also a gentle 50 km route. The vertical climb for each ride: 50 km: 95 m; 70 km: 306 m; 77 km: 491 m. Bring your own snacks and drinks for a social gathering in the park after the ride.
