A clockwise route to Metcalfe, stopping at The Stable restaurant. Return via Greely / Manotick Station / Bowesville.
D (55 km, 242 m elevation gain)
A bit of a different route and some the same. The turnaround in Metcalfe is The Stable restaurant. They have very good iced tea and cold water. On the return, you come back via Greely and then the rail trail heading north. This week, however, you'll continue farther on the trail to Lester Rd; i.e. the airport. The trail was scouted a month ago and it is complete to that point.
