I visited the region of Quebec north east of Montreal, Quebec called
Lanaudiere again on Saturday. I explored some other roads to avoid some
of the less nice eastern section along busy road and a section of hilly
dirt road. It worked great because this was the best ride yet: more and
bigger hills, and more great scenery.

Starting in Saint Jean de Matha (parking at the Halte/Musee Louis Cyr
across from the church), we cross the 131 and take the road to Saint
Gabriel, but don't turn off so this road loops back to the rt 131 just
north of town. It is a nice warm up and has some good hills, starting
at the 4:00 minutes into the ride!

Then we take rt 131 north a few miles on good paved shoulders to Rang
St Catherine, which takes us to Rang des Seigneurs which is both hilly
and has, once one reaches the top, a multi-million dollar view! There's
a parking and a lookout there for checking it out. When starting this
climb, you can stop for raspberries at a raspberry farm. THe climb is
very steep and long, and the pavement is a bit worn out, but it was
easily manageable to avoid the bad spots. This is called steering.

Once down the hill you arrive in Saint Emilie de L'Energie, arriving by
the road beside the church. I again went over to the tourist office
(expo moulin) for a break on the boardwalk beside the mill pond/little
lake.

Leaving the town I took the long climb of chemin de feuille d'erables
I've riden a lot on these roads and it is just great.
The ride from St gabriel to St Alexis des Monts is also a good one, and
if you really like hills continue to Hotel Saccacomi.
