From Ayer’s Cliff to Newport (63 km)
The final stretch of this great cycling adventure! Leaving Ayer’s Cliff, the day feels more demanding than it seems at first glance. It’s best to stock up on snacks before leaving the village (a few provisions are easy to find in the centre) and take time for a stop at Parc du Quai to enjoy the view over Lake Massawippi. Those with a sweet tooth may also take a short detour to La Pinte for a milk-based treat before hitting the road. The route then winds through country roads and scenic viewpoints, including Brown’s Hill Road and Magoon Point. There are few resupply options along the way, except for a must-stop at the Georgeville General Store—both for restocking and for its timeless atmosphere. Along the route, the Narrows covered bridge adds a touch of heritage to the ride. Before closing this four-day journey, a final break at Weir Memorial Park offers the perfect place to rest your legs, before heading back to Newport, where this crossing between lakes and border comes to an end.
