Meet in Ottawa the night before the first day's ride

Riders for Cycle Canada's Voyageur Route meet in downtown Ottawa, Canada's capital city. We encourage riders to arrive early so they can explore this city. There will be an orientation session in the evening before the ride.

Cyclists leave from the national capital and follow the Ottawa River towards Montréal. Our route leaving Ottawa on the first day takes us past Embassies, the Governor-General's residence and the Prime Minister's residence.

We follow the Ottawa River to our first night's stay in Hawkesbury. From here we head towards Montréal.

Sideroads, paths and country lanes

From Montréal we travel to Québec City alongside the Richelieu and St. Lawrence Rivers.

Leaving Montréal our tour heads south to the Richelieu River and then follows the Richelieu until it joins the St. Lawrence at Sorel. We will track the edge of a geologically ancient escarpment through small villages most of the way to Trois-Rivières and then follow the St. Lawrence into Québec City.
