This is a gorgeous route which visits three rivers and three creeks. There are miles of scenic roads with low traffic, much wildlife and just a few challenging climbs thrown in for good measure.
The route is similar to "Gizmo's Tour de Trois Rivieres" but with a reversal in the main loop. Also, the route spends very little time on Hwy 42, avoiding several miles of 55 mph traffic.
