Green Party Summer Bike Ride

  • 100 Michael Cowpland Drive Kanata, ON, K2M 1P6 Canada (map)

This event we originally scheduled for June 26 - postponed due to the forecast for heavy rain.

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 there is lots of space to spread out with your 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 large parking lot at the southwest corner of Eagleson Rd and Michael Copeland Dr, in front of the Good Life gym. We have three routes planned depending on your time, ability and ambition (see maps below):

  • Level 1: departing at 10:30; 5.5 km to Village Park Square; estimated time of 25 mins each way (total distance of 11 km);

  • Level 2: departing at 10:00; 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 9:45; 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 walk, skate or roll along the TransCanada Trail or around Stittsville or just join us - at a distance - to socialize and enjoy the weather. Just aim to be at Village Park Square around 11am. The rain date is Sunday, July 25.
