Morning Rides in Trois Rivieres Part 2

From the centre of Trois Rivieres there is a linear park that heads north for several kilometers to the National Historic site 'Les Forges du Saint-Maurice' (Parks Canada website).

I decided to ride along Boulevard des Cheneaux, which follows the Saint-Maurice river and then catch the linear park at Boulevard Hamelin. Des Cheneaux has an on-road bike lane, but also a couple of little hills.

At Hamelin, I headed north on the bike path until Boulevard St. Michel. To the north of St. Michel, the path takes a steep drop. This looked like a good place to turn around.

Perhaps a warning of pain of death rather than pain of ticketing would be more apt given the steepness of the grade.

I returned to the ship along the linear park enjoying the well-maintained surface and the nice views of the city and bridge across the St. Lawrence. In one of the city parks the path passed through there was an outdoor gym.

The linear park ends just south of the University and then becomes a normal city bike path. Just north of Highway 40, the path goes by the Hippodrome with an impressive gate.

Then it was back to the ship and another load of buoys to be placed.
