Description: Meet at the parking lot on Bate Island at 9:45 for a 10:00 departure. Bate Island is off the Camplain Bridge about a third of the way across from Island Park Drive.

We'll cycle west along the Ottawa River Parkway then South on the Pinecrest Creek Parkway. Just before Woodroffe Ave., we'll hook up to the path that will take us to the Experimental Farm where we will stop for an early picnic lunch in the Arboretum. From here, we'll head back to Bate Is. via Island Park Drive.

This is an easy 25 km trip with only a few short hills. Aside from a short ride on Island Park Drive, which has a dedicated bike lane, we'll be on bike paths all the way. Although it's a city route, it is a very pleasant ride consisting of wooded areas, open fields and pretty riverside views.
