Join local Greens for a ride from south Kanata to Stittsville.  We plan to ride west along the TransCanada trail from Eagleson Rd to Village Park Square in Stittsville, where we’ll stop to have a packed lunch or snack, or you can pick something up from Quitters Coffee, on Stittsville Main St. More ambitious riders can set out earlier and ride past Stittsville before turning around and returning to Village Park Square to join the others. After lunch, we’ll all ride back to Kanata, or wherever your travels take you.

We plan to meet in the parking lot at the southwest corner of Eagleson Rd and Michael Copeland Dr, opposite the Good Life gym. We have three routes planned depending on your time, ability and ambition (see maps below):

• Level 1: departing at 11:30; 5.5 km to Village Park Square; estimated time of 25 mins each way (total distance of 11 km);

• Level 2: departing at 11:00; 12.0 km outbound to Jinkinson Rd & 6.5 km back to Village Park Square; estimated time of 1 hr (total distance of 24 km);

• Level 3: departing at 10:45; 17.0 km outbound to Dwyer Hill Rd & 11.5 km back to Village Park Square; estimated time of 1.2 hr (total distance of 33 km);

You are of course welcome to plan your own route. And non-riders are welcome too. You can plan a short walk along the TransCanada Trail or around Stittsville or just join us to socialize and enjoy the fall weather. Just aim to be at Village Park Square around noon. The rain date is Sunday, Oct 18.

Here are the longer Level 2 and 3 routes, which continue further west, before returning to Village Park Square:
