Read more: Becky is dinner72 km , 5 h 46 min ride time It was a beautiful day with the sun shining and the temperatures a little cool; however, there was very little wind.

Route Verte 1: Oka to Montreal
Read more: Route Verte 1: Oka to Montreal66 km 5 hrs It rained last night, sometimes heavily. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a steady rain, rather it rained in bouts on and off.
