Day 45. Mattawa to Petawawa.June 11. 137 km.

We knew that this would be a day with hills. In fact we encountered our first one as soon as we left the motel. It was modest and followed up by the hill leaving town. Then we encountered one that convinced us to walk our bikes. We encountered another walker later in the morning. In between there were lesser hills all the way to Rolfton some 85 km from Mattawa. The day was really pleasant, warm but not hot. Not a cloud in the sky for the morning.
When we got to Deep River about 2 pm, we checked to see if the Canadian Tire store had a replacement bike computer for Gramie's bike. Unfortunately they didn't. We decided to go on to Petawawa another 30 km away. This made for a 137 km day, and we are supposed to be cutting back to allow Gramie's bronchi to recover.
More of Hwy 17.
