Author's Note:
The following sections from B to G (b,c,d,e,f,g) should be traveled in single line formation if in group for safety and to correct any possible errors. Avoid staying near the shoulder since certain blind corners may have bad potholes or gravel dump, but the worst is the road shifts when going down. For example if you were to travel at 100km/hr going uphill, suddenly the road drops downhill with a slanted angle. Your tires lane would shift from left lane uphill to downhill right lane, scary but it happened to me on couple of occasions without warnings and it does happen without warnings. If the rider would be using right tire lane going uphill, (s)he possibly would end up on a bad shoulder or in a ditch, just a precaution.

Enjoy, I will try to find more write up regarding Renfrew County roads for you guys.
