Countryside ramble from downtown Brockville, to Spencerville and a stop at the general store for their famous CINNAMON BUNS and a coffee.  After refueling, head back to Brockville.

As an alternate route, adding about 13km, instead of turning right onto CR21 from CR15 northbound, just below North Augusta, proceed into North Augusta and turn right onto Branch Road.  Proceed on CR21 to Garretton, picking up CR18 to Roebuck, turning left back onto CR21 to Spencerville.



A short, flat, fast route, returning with a warm-down along the downtown waterfront.



Brockville to Prescott paralleling Hwy 401, and along the river to return.  Avoid CR 2 along the river during peak work travel times.
