UPDATE: When I pinned the tail on the donkey, to get a new route that doesn't have cponstruction, it said "Dunvegan". So, you get tpo enjoy some lovely roads that I've never programmed before for a Sunday but I have ridden. Though it does stretch the length to a new high. For that reason I'm including a second ride, 6km shorter, with Saint Isidore as the turn-around point. I've ridden those roads, too. They are terrific. I recommend downloading both routes to your device and decide on Sunday which you will follow. There are obvious ways to shorten either route but I encourage you, if time peremits, to get to Dunvegan where there is a fascinating pioneer museum. It's free and you might scout it out for a few minutes to see if you wish to return in the future.

Alternate route: Saint Isidore - 139km

There are a variety of places to stop along the way. Saint Isidore apparently has the Grille de Ville resto (see the map), which opens att 11:00 on Sundays. The Glengarry Pioneer Museum (marked on the map in Dunvegan) has toilets and water. Friendly folks look after the place. Of course, you also have everything between Trim Rd and Bourget.

B STILL GOING TO PLANTAGENET, BUT INLAND VIA THE PENDLETON AREA, due to the construction on Old Hwy 17.

NOTE (June 27): Please re-download the route is you have previously downloaded it. The route has been altered to reverse the direction of the eastern loop into Plantagenet and also to include the PRT rail trail in the drawn route. Groups have the option to stay on the pavement, instead of following the PRT but they will not receive GPS prompts until they reconnect with the route.

A slightly altered route to Plantagenet for a gelato / sandwich / coffee stop at the Cafe Sur la Rive, if desired. If you choose you can get off the roads on the way back from Plantagenet and onto the PRT near km 53.7523. It's an excellent rail trail and you can ride it for as far as you like. There is a grocery store in Bourget which you could also stop at. Also Midori Market in Sarsfield. If the wide shoulders of Frank Kenney Rd interest you, you can turn at km 97.8888 and ride it north to Wall Rd, where you would cut over to Trim. Check the map for various portapotty locations. This new route offers new roads in and around St. Pascal; sure the satisfy the most discerning cyclist.

A few tweaks to an existing loop to Bourget. Trying to find a few more km of relaxing country roads, to complement the always pleasant Wilhaven Drive, but also a bit of excellent rail trail (PRT) approaching Bourget, a little packed gravel on French Hill Rd between O'Toole and Frank Kenney (which, itself, has very wide shoulders), and a new return via Wall Rd and Trim back to the barn. There are a few portapotties on the route and the grocery store in Bourget has public toilets (but good form is to buy something if you use them). Do scout the map, in detail, to see where things are.

A new route which includes a few km on the excellent Prescott-Russell Rail Trail. Likely coffee stops are Sarsfield (Midori Market) or Navan (Sunrise Bites). If the group doesn't wish to stop in Sarsfield, the group could remain on the PRT all the way to Trim Rd. You decide. There ought to be one, if not two, portapotty relief stations in Hammond; see the map.

Another return alternative to Trim Rd is Frank Kenney Rd; it's very wide shoulder allows for more relaxed riding, even with traffic whizzing by, and can accommodate an orderly double paceline. If Frank Kenney is chosen, the suggested passage over to Trim is Wall Rd; just be careful with the left turn from one to the other.
