A long 40 km advanced course for those who like distance on skates. I recommend wearing all protective gear for this route. There will be stops at several metro stations along the way if you decide not to continue. See map below..
Alternative route: You can start the ride from Angrignon station for a 16km round trip to the tip of René-Lévesque Park starting @ 1:00PM. The group should arrive around 12:30PM at Angrignon station and wait for the start!
Important: Bring your shoes if you plan to take the metro home. Montreal is very strict about not skating in the metro, so be warned that you could be fined $400.
