They closed the 2 outside of Bourget this year, bridge work, so if i want to get to Ettyville etc, I have to go thru Saint Pascal, or around the long way.

École Separée No. 5 (1915) near Plantagenet ON – Love running across places like this when I’m out riding. Next time I’m out I’ll go in and snap a few.

At the tail east end of Wilhaven Drive. The google streetview from 2021 looks occupied. Now, not so much. Wilhaven is a wonderful east west run skirting under Cumberland.

You head into this blind downhill corner, you have to gear down just in case, and as you clear the trees you get this view. Just Amazing.

The amount of sediment in that water… I ride through this area often. Beautiful back roads.

Its the half way point or the central axis in a lot of my rides. The various highways, conncessions and rural ways cross in the area. It’s a good place to stop and stretch.
