Available Rides
A (131 km, 479 m elevation gain)
Today's route takes you south between Metcalfe and Russell, before looping around through Morewood on the way to Winchester, your planned coffee stop. I recommend having a look at the map ahead of time to choose a likely establishment for food and water. From there, head SW to South Mountain from where you begin the long road north. May your winds be light.
B (103 km, 447 m elevation gain)
A large CW loop to Russell and Osgoode, before returning via River Road. Toilets in Russell at Tim Horton's. Ice cream at the Pronto Mart. Detour, at about km 71, into Osgoode, if needed. Can also detour into the Kars Ultramar, or Manotick, as needed. Check the map.
C (75 km, 304 m elevation gain)
Straight forward loop to Metcalfe then return via Greely. There ought to be a portapotty in the Metcalfe city park (if not taken out for the winter). Worst case, visit Greely for various food and drink options. There is also the Stable restaurant on Victoria St near Bank St in Metcalfe.
D (54 km, 257 m elevation gain)
Loop around to the rest stop in Greely.
I do note that your trek west on Parkway Rd should have an enticing tailwind assist!
