Actually 144km now. Heading straight over to Casselman then down to the St Albert Cheese factory. Return is a zig-zag all the way to Greely. The return can be easily altered to go through Embrun, Russell and/or Metcalfe.

An established loop to Russell and Embrun with a few small changes due to construction and just mixing it up a little. Making sure you don't get in a rut. You're welcome.

The first change is when you arrive at Mitch Owens by Farmers Way. You're turning left, this time followed by a right on York's Corners Rd. Watch for busy traffic for a km or two on Boundary Rd northbound. The route to Embrun is via the paved rail trail that leads you first through Russell, where there's Kawartha Dairy ice cream at the Pronto Mart, just 100m off the route. Just sayin'. The rail trail -- paved; shady; relaxing -- is a construction detour to avoid a very busy St Pierre Rd farther east.

There's a turn off the rail trail in Embrun to a plethora of fast food. Or take [whatever] to go and maybe find a table along the rail trail, which you return to after visiting the food court. Then you loop south and west to get to Metcalfe (chic portapotty) then Greely and the other change to keep you out of your rut: turn right off of Parkway onto Stagecoach Rd followed by another LEFT turn onto Mitch Owens followed by a right turn onto Bowesville... who ever heard of such a thing?! From there, it's autopilot back to the barn.

A loop to Metcalfe and Osgoode. Your choice where you stop for a break. You can get a coffee/iced tea at The Stable, leaving Metcalfe or something from the convenience store, in Metcalfe. The portapotty is at the back of the park at Victoria St/8th Line intersection in Metcalfe. If you don't wish to stop in Osgoode at the Foodland or Red Dot Cafe or the ice cream purveyors, you can sail past the turn off of Cabin Rd and continue on your way.

A loop in the middle with strings out either end. Resembling a Lindt candy. Take a break in Kars at the Ultramar or on the way back in Manotick. Or both!
