Chateauguay valley summer sunshine ride

Church at Franklin


Finally a depanneur is again open in Franklin (old one burned down a few years ago)


A complete chateauguay valley ride


We headed out to the peaceful country roads of the Chateauguay valley on Saturday. A climb of Covey hill from Havelock was one of the highlights, but so was the peaceful summer countryside, good roads, variety of route choices and low traffic.




Our ride was 110km. The triangular shape of the region means that rides here are easily shortened or lengthened, even mid-ride.

Pont Barré? No Problem...


We meet these cyclists who arrived from the other direction who also ignored the road closed sign.
