Rides for Canada 150

On July 1, ride a kilometre for each year of Confederation

One hundred and fifty years ago this July 1, the British North America Act kicked in, creating the country of Canada. Sure, it’s a humble origin story, but it’s, of course, quintessentially Canadian in many ways. For your Canada Day, dear Canadian cyclists, why not try something slightly ambitious. Mark the occasion with a 150-km ride: one click for each year of Confederation. If you are in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Vancouver or Charlottetown, the routes below have you covered. Riders in those respective cities charted things out for you. If you’ll be riding in another fantastic locale in this big country on Canada Day, use these rides to inspire your own 150-km jaunt on two wheels.
