It’s often said that there’s nothing better than going straight to the source to get the real story.
When it comes to information about cycling routes for your vacation, be sure to visit the Voyager à vélo booth at the Montreal Bike Show, from February 20 to 22.
Here are a few suggested rides that can be provided by the team from the company specializing in luggage transfer for cyclists:
Niagara Region – Simply spectacular
If you’re looking for something spectacular, we suggest the Niagara region. Its reputation as a favourite cycling destination is well established.
Dozens of kilometres of bike paths are available to visitors, often winding along the water. And you’ll have water in abundance when you arrive at Niagara Falls, a city world-renowned for its gigantic waterfall.
And don’t miss the neighbouring town, Niagara-on-the-Lake, charming for its high class and opportunities for relaxation at its fine dining establishments and trendy bars.
If road cycling is your thing, the rural areas are sure to make your mouth water. Fruit farms, like peaches and vineyards, are counted by the hundreds.
The Great Lakes and Historical Sites
Another equally interesting destination: from Toronto, you can begin a route along Lake Ontario.
Every pedal stroke will be met with the discovery of delightful landscapes typical of this region of Ontario. Prince Edward County is the place to taste exquisite local wines and stroll through picturesque villages.
If historical sites fascinate you, you’ll be well served in Kingston, the first capital of Canada.
In Montérégie, Quebec, the possibilities are numerous for cyclists.
La Grande Boucle: A Must-Do
The dynamic Voyager à vélo team propose a cycling route called La Grande Boucle (The Big Loop). It incorporates the Route Verte (Green Route) through five of the most beautiful bike paths in the Montérégie region.
In addition to passing through natural environments, such as woodlands and farmland, and along peaceful waterways, it allows you to discover vibrant tourist hubs like Longueuil, Granby, Drummondville, and Sorel-Tracy. These cities are known for their cyclist-friendly services and attractions.
For Food Lovers
Prepare to feast: the Véloroute Gourmande (Gourmet Bike Route) allows you to taste the local terroir from every angle. Two major tourist regions in Quebec, Montérégie and Estrie (Eastern Townships), have joined forces to develop this cycling tour dedicated to cyclists.
Covering 240 kilometres, between Montréal and Sherbrooke, it caters to foodies and those who enjoy contemplation.
Throughout the ride, travellers can stop at numerous gourmet rest stops ready to introduce them to an ever-growing array of local products.
The Véloroute Gourmande includes over a hundred attractions near the bike path, such as restaurants, microbreweries, vineyards, museums, and more.
Accommodations are easy to find along the route.
All these destinations, in Ontario and Quebec, offer the chance to discover delightful parts of the country at your own pace and in total independence, especially when relying on a trusted luggage transport service.
So, make sure to visit the booth (number 114) at the Montreal Bike Show for more information.
