Thanks for sharing. I live in Ottawa so I am pretty close to this route but there always seems to be another trip I need to do first. I think you made a wise decision to not do the loop since, as you remarked, those Laurentian roads have no shoulders and vehicle travel at high speed. If you want to try something a bit more adventurous you should do a search for the “Logdrivers Waltz” which is a roughly 800km route that can be done as the full loop, or can be broken up into several smaller routes. It is more of a bikepacking route so less manicured, but this does address the concerns about the traffic. I also liked your segment on the Lake Champlain route. Will have to add that to my ever growing list. By the way, you did pretty well with the French pronunciation. Bon travaille!
