RODDLE:  A bike R-ide at a t-ODDLE pace, an EVENT as well as a bike ride. This year's Roddle, includes a nostalgic  stop at a country museum followed by the bike ride. The official start point is the Osgoode Township Museum located at 7814 Lawrence Street, Vernon, ON which is 37 kms south of Ottawa on Highway 31. By prior arrangement only, car pooling may be available from the RA Centre at 9:30. Contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. no later than Thursday 6:00 PM to confirm. The museum thrives on donations so please bring some coins.

After 45-60  minutes we will continue on to Morrisburg to the town dock where we will have our picnic lunch in the park by the St Lawrence River. There are a few tables but bring a lawn chair as this is a nice park to enjoy all that goes on each weekend.

After lunch we will begin the Roddle going west along the quiet and scenic Lakeshore Drive for 10 kms where we, Option #1, turn around and go back to the park, or, Option #2, continue another 6 kms through the town of Iroquois to the Iroquois Lock Station (washroom) where we might see an ocean going freighter go through the locks. This option includes a 3 km segment on County Road 2. 

Option #1 is a 20 km ride and Option #2 would make it a 32 km ride. The group will decide whether to go short or long at the 10 km mark.

Please bring a couple of coins, your helmet, picnic lunch, lawn chair, your smile, and wear a bright shirt to be visible while biking. See you then.

A refreshment stop at the McIntosh Inn may follow.
