This is the bike path between Longueuil and Chambly, but I can see on Googlemaps Streetview that the paths in and around Gatineau are similar. Sometimes I sorta wish I had a commute like this that I could do on a bike instead of working from a home office. |
I wish they would pave the Prescott-Russell trail, parts of it could look like this, and if they properly marketed it as a car-free Ottawa-Montreal intercity route instead of a regional trail, it would get a lot more users as its more direct than the Route verte through Laval. Go big or go home, it's sad the county was thinking of giving up on this trail last year.
I'm actually currently biking my way out to Quebec City. It's been a few years since I've ridden Route verte #1 out to Montebello and beyond, it's really nice how the A-50 has cut down the traffic on the 148 significantly.
