From Gananoque - Around Charleston Lake

Starting/Ending: Tim Hortons and T.I. Cycle on King St (Hwy 2) in Gananoque.

The loop can be done in either direction, although traffic hassles are less if done counter-clockwise.

Food/Water stops: Gananoque, Rockport, Mallorytown (corner of Quabbin Rd and CR#2), Athens (additional 10km N on CR#5 and back along CR#40), Lyndhurst, Outlet (campground store at bridge), Lansdowne.

Cautions: 1000 Islands Pkwy - okay in early morning.  Because there's an ancient, crumbling, once-paved "recreational trail" running parallel to the Pkwy, many drivers will honk and shout to "get on the pathway".  Watch out for RVs and tour buses.  No shoulders.  Ride safe - don't hug the edge of the road.

County Rd #3: between Charleston Lake Provincial Park (just N of Outlet) and CR#2, watch out for holiday weekend RV, boat trailer and camper traffic on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings (headed N to Park) and Sunday/holiday Monday afternoons (headed S to 401).

Terrain: Pretty flat except for some nice rolling hills over Frontenac Arch granite ridges along CR#5, Oak Leaf Rd, and CR#3.  A few 5% to 6% grades but not long.
