Biking: Berges Ouest and Lachine Canal (40km) + a bonus core workout!

Our route:

From Atwater market, we will make our way through the streets to the Berges Ouest bike path, west towards René-Levesque Park. From René-Levesque Park, we will head west on the Lachine canal to where it ends, then back track and return east along the Lachine Canal back to Atwater market.

Here's a twist... during the ride:

We will have 2-3 pit stops for 5-10 minutes each and have some fun with a mini core workout! Our core, when it is in great shape, gives us balance, stability and most importantly, helps prevent injuries. You don't have to be a super athlete to participate in the exercises. Each exercise can be adjusted to different degrees of difficulty :-)

(Just kidding about this core stretch lol)

Requirements:

1. You have a road bike, touring bike or hybrid. No other type of bike is recommended as it may slow down the group. Your bike is in good condition (properly inflated tires, lubricated chain...)

2. It's a good idea to have basic tools and an extra tube. If not, bring extra money just in case.

3. You can maintain an average pace of 20-22 kph on flat terrain.

4. A bike helmet.

*Also bring snacks and plenty to drink! The forecast for Saturday is Sunny and the high above 20C! let's enjoy the beautiful, warm weather on our bikes!

We will be leaving at 1:30pm sharp! If you are late, you will have to pedal very fast to catch us!
