Yes there is at least one from the Valley.I do all my solo rides west of Ottawa with the odd foray up and around Eganville.16% grade at Foymount well worth the ride.Saw 91kmph on the downhill.Yeehaw.The OBC needs to get more west of Ottawa rides on Sundays.Theres more variety out this way.

Ottawa (city) here. I used to bike up to Gatineau but that was before the paths were frozen like a brick at 6am. Actually I used to go just about anywhere around here before it snowed, Orleans, Stittsville, Gatineau, Manotick, etc... so where abouts you live? Now I try to avoid biking anymore than say 15k in one direction (terribly under-equipped for the weather).

I never rode to Carp... never really considered it. Would be a nice distance though, I live near St.Laurent (Gloucester I guess) so Carp is PAST the other end of the city from me. I'm not in the OBC, not really sure that's my style, I don't think I really fit the typical OBC-style of biker. You in the OBC? Next summer I think I'm going to take off and maybe do some longer distance rides.
