Thank you for the lovely reply, do you know where this route starts? The intersection or road name.

http://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places/sunday-bikedays a nice longer ride is the "Perkins loop" loop is starting from Chelsea. There is parking at the NCC visitor Centre on Scott Rd.
Rte 105 to the north end of Wakefield, turn right and take Rte 366 to Perkins. Rte 366 takes a left at a T-junction and a right at the next T-junction. At Perkins (bottom of a steep hill) turn right on Montee Paiement. Turn right on ch Bellechasse, right on Montee St Amor, left on .ch Lamoureux, left on Ste Elisabeth. Ste Elisabeth becomes Montee des Erables and then ch des Erables. At the end of des Erables, turn left on ru St Louis, left across the bridge and left again to go north on Rte 105 back to Chelsea.
Several nice coffee places in Chelsea. my favourite is Les Saisons. Also, there is an ice cream store across the street from the Visitors Centre.
If you are riding in Gatineau park, many people just ride from Ottawa, but there is parking at several loactions in the park as well as the visitor centre. see the NCC website.
run well, run happy
