West End to the Hills 50k
Centrepointe Theatre, Ben Franklin Place - 101 Centrepointe Drive, Ottawa, ON K2G 5K7, ON, CAStart time is tentative and I'm open to changing it. Just let me know.
Route (subject to minor changes if necessary): https://www.strava.com/routes/3500986798916249842
I'll share an RWGPS version if I can figure out how to save it without a subscription.This is a scenic ride almost exclusively on bike paths that takes us from the Centrepointe municipal complex along the Ottawa River and into Gatineau to Lac Leamy for our first pit stop. From there we climb out into the hills en route to the second official stop at P3, although we can pause any time anyone feels the need. There are a couple of short but sharpish climbs on the route itself that everyone can take at their own pace and we'll regroup at the top. We also pass by the base of the Pink Lake climb and could wait there if any masochists want to actually go up it. Proper trail etiquette is important as we'll be sharing the paths with civilians, although they do get much less numerous after Lac Leamy.
