Route Verte Info
I'm trying to plan a bike trip for my parents. My dad is not keen on riding on highways, so I am trying to find something that is entirely on paved bike trails. This obviously lends itself towards the Route Verte in Quebec. I am thinking from Ottawa to Montreal. They live in Eastern Ontario. According to the Route Verte website the north side of the Ottawa River is an off-road bike path the entire way to Montreal, but I haven't found any other blogs or trip reports to back that up. It sounds more like it's on the side of a highway. Can anyone tell me what kind of path it is?
Does anybody have any better info resources for the Route Verte, or somewhere you can download maps of it, or get more info about directions and what not. I've heard that Cycling in Quebec is a good guidebook, but it's not available locally and will take too long to ship here.
