July 22 - Bancroft to Renfrew - 133 km



After a very wet previous day we had a cloudy bright skies and cool temperatures. The morning had some hills and was generally rolling. Very little traffic on this road which was good because there were no shoulders in some places. There were a couple of monster hills before lunch.

We had lunch at a Swiss restaurant in Denbigh (great Bratwurst and Sauerkraut if you are into that sort of thing). After lunch the terrain seemed to flatten out and our speed improved. We came down a hill into the Ottawa valley about 3 o'clock and celebrated with ice cream cones in Dacre.

The end of the day was at Renfrew. 133 km today - this was Ashley's longest ride and a long one for the rest of us.

The photos are of one of the %&#@ hills and the old mill building in Renfrew (now a museum).
