Yeah I was a bit misleading. I always forget the common tag for Gatineau ( #VeloGat?) so just use the Ottawa one. It is along Boulevard des Allumettières in the Plateau.

The boardwalk under the Pont Macdonald-Cartier Bridge was recently re-opened after years of closure, but I'd say it's a bit premature and in desperate need of repair: two planks have already broken, leaving dangerous gaps if you're approaching at speed or in the dark. #ottbike #velogat

I'm fuming at NCC's decision to remove concrete barriers protecting bikers on the Champlain for flexiposts. I would take my kids across last year, but bendy-straws are not going to save them, so no way we're going on there this year.

The headwind from seemingly every direction was demoralizing, and the cross wind on the Chief William Commanda Bridge was actually scary. I only make it up to P3 today.

The western pathway off the bridge is open though! But it's a lot of gravel. Not *too* loose, still not great.

Attention #ottbike / #velogat, there is a pretty loose/rough gravel zone this year on the Voyageurs MUP just east of the Chief William Commanda Bridge (Gatineau side). Something to watch out for if your tires aren't suitable (or an excuse to try gravel cycling!). (Video muted for tandem bike convo).

Wide angle view from bike along separated bike way with snow on either side of clear path. Sun is shining in front and sky is clear. Bike in foreground has pogies on the handlebars to keep my weak hands warm.

Cold morning bike commute at -9C, but clear skies and not too much ice left. 10/10. It's always 10/10.

I so hope that the new hospital to be built at Asticou will not turn its back to Gatineau Park with some large parking lot and waste containers and a truck route to the loading docks and 8 ft fencing. #ottbike #ottwalk #velogat #NCC #Gatineau

Drivers: how hard is it to look to see if pedestrians or cyclists are approaching on the MUP before you pull out? I know looking in all two directions is difficult, but you are controlling a pretty large machine and all that. (Sound on if you like @loudbicycle.com horns). #autowa #ottbike #velogat

If riding through the puddle makes the sound of broken glass from an overnight freeze, reconsider and turn back. #ottbike #velogat (sound on)

Side-by-side images of a bicycle at the entrance gate to Gatineau Park. On the left is April 6 2023 and the ground beyond the gate is blanketed in snow. On the right is March 17 2024 and there is no snow at all.

Last year we had a crazy early snow melt in the middle of April; this year we've beaten that by a month. Made it 8km into Gatineau Park today before being stopped by snow. A few more warm days and it will all be gone. #ottbike #velogat

Want to have a bit of fun? How about joining our Gatineau friends for their “ride illuminée”.

I’m sure some of you already have their bikes all decorated with lights.

Rue des Montgolfières, Pointe-Gatineau
Today 5:30pm

Don’t miss it. Invite friends. #Velogat
