Île Perrot – LaSalle, 37km
First time riding in Québec on this trip. “La route verte” is a mix of bike path and roadside shoulder on this section. The surface is paved all the way although it can be quite bumpy at times (due to tree roots under asphalt or just uneven asphalt). Very scenic ride through West-Island along the Saint Lawrence river, passing through beautiful residential areas as well. Welcome to Québec!

We cycled the Waterfront Trail for the most part, with the 1000 Islands Parkway trail being the nicest. Unfortunately, that path ends at Butternut Bay and the trail continues on highway 2, which sometimes has a nice shoulder and sometimes not. All in all, it was a nice ride along the Saint Lawrence river and again, the wind at our backs helped us keep a good pace (the kids took a break this time).
Finally, because we’re lacking time, we asked our family to give us a ride from Morrisburg to Île Perrot, 123km. Not a bad decision, as we avoided this crazy downpour storm that lasted the whole way.

10km section on 1000 islands Parkway super nice. Before that, on Waterfront Trail the road had a nice shoulder and the ride was very easy with the wind in our backs.
