This ride is the ultimate "modular" ride, with nice versions from 25 km to to 50, 80, 100, 113, 150, 160 km, and everything in between, bc the entire region is filled with quiet #BikeParadise country roads.
You can go farther than 160 km (100 miles) into Dundee but that starts to be a too-long ride.
That Aubrey isn't the Aubrey😍 (Original name: California) existing between Howick & St-Chrysostome that's a junction between east & west, accessing 9 different routes west into the quiet/scenic-country-road #BikeParadise #ParadisDuVélo region of Quebec's Châteauguay Valley, southwest of Montreal).👈🚴♀️
It was a long uphill, but now... #BestDayOfTheYear

Yes the road is that smooth & has those wide shoulders for all of its 61 kilometres.😍
Wind had blown down the maple leaves but there was still lots of colour from the birch trees.
