Before You Plan Your Quebec Cycling Trip

From Sherel Purcell, for About.com

No other Canadian province does as much to promote cycling as Quebec. The ever expanding 2000 mile "Route Verte" represents a concerted effort to connect the various regions of the province and neighboring USA with a safe cycling route. Most Quebec highways whether or not they are part of the Green Route have wide shoulders to accommodate cyclists.

Planning a Quebec cycling trip will take some advanced organizing for the annual cycling trips and events. Independent cycling trips can be done with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Quebec is big on cycling organizations and organized cycling events that can be enjoyed by all ages and by urban and rural dwellers alike.
