I was curious about a long, thin strip of land with a bike path in the St. Lawrence River. So off we went on the Piste de la Voie Maritime, sometimes paved, sometimes crushed stone, and sometimes part of Quebec’s amazing Route Verte system of bike routes.

• Role: journey waypoint
• In the article: Curious about the long, thin strip of land in the river, the riders take the path, sometimes paved, stop under the new Champlain Bridge for a view of downtown and turn back before the end.
• Why it matters: A detour waypoint. The pin is the Champlain Bridge (approximate).
