Title: Petite Nation play and run on Sunday May 24th is a go (with bike shuttle)
Post by: ylockhead on May 22, 2020, 08:36:38 AM: TRIP is a go. 11 AM at the kayak school.

Please reply here if you are interested. If there is enough interest, we can make it a trip.I am posting to gauge interest in a trip on the Petite Nation on Sunday May 24th 11 AM. To maintain social distancing, I suggest bike shuttles. Leave bikes at the takeout and park at the kayak school for 11 AM. Walk up the first canyon 1 or more times to play and then run the river.

Level is low 30s so not too pushy. https://www.cehq.gouv.qc.ca/suivihydro/graphique.asp?NoStation=040406

Post by: Dani on May 24, 2020, 03:54:28 PM: Thanks, Yannick and all, for a very nice day on the water! And yes, you were of course right, you did say to leave the bike at the takeout - it comes at a price that I"m trying to stay away from coffee on weekends - so sorry!
But in a way I guess it was meant to be because the gravel would not have been much appreciated by my bike.
Hope you made it back safely!

That road is bad for cycling. Large and lose gravel, soft shoulders and the occasional angry dog made for an interesting ride with narrow urban tires. The Ottawa bike shuttle is pleasant compared to this one.
