Comment by Charlie Opferman (Cousin of Dave S)
ReplyDeleteThe route does not end up in Montreal but I assume you intend to get into the city. Montreal is one of the most bicycle friendly cities I have ever visited so it is a great place to visit. Barb will join us in Montreal. The first two days have enough climbs to keep them on a shorter (50+ mi) day. I am used to grinding a little more out. Along the shore of Lake Champlain route is flat so group should be able to hit 75-80 mi. If someone wants a side trip, take VIA Rail to Quebec City and bike the Eastern townships. I don’t have the time for that next summer but just throwing it out. My experience with shorter days involve breweries and/or wineries as diversions. Don’t know what your group fancies. That’s it for now. Thanks for thinking about me. Charlie
