Circuit #4
From Bedford to Farnham

A 50 Km ride, give or take a few minutes…

How about a circuit that would be a really good workout! This circuit forms a loop between Bedford and Farnham. No great climbs on this course, it mostly consists of straight flats and fake flats.

  1. Departure from the Métro grocery store parking lot situated on rue Principale in Bedford. You may also use the municipal parking provided at St-Damien Church.
  2. Head towards Du Pont, at the intersection of routes 202 and 235 and turn left.
  3. Cross the Zéphir-Falcon bridge and keep to your left. You are on chemin Mystic heading north.
  4. Follow this road until you come upon Mystic’s famous 12-sided barn and the renowned restaurant and B & B  L’Oeuf. Go to Walbridge Street; it becomes rang St-Charles at this point.
  5. Remain on St-Charles; you will pass rang Ange-Gardien and then turn right on rang St-Henri. You are now in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge.
  6. Cross the bridge and turn left on Principale. Take rang Ste-Anne just before the Catholic Church and continue until you reach rang Kempt where you turn left. Then turn right and continue on 11e rang nord. Ride through the village of  Ste-Sabine. Continue until you reach Farnham.
  7. Carefully cross route 104 and continue on rue   St-Grégoire . At the stop, turn left on  rue Jacques-Cartier Nord. Then turn right on  rue Principale est up to the traffic lights and go straight ahead.

Alternate route:

  1. The cycling path is a little further on the left. It will take you to Granby.
  2. At the « Y » intersection, take the left fork. You’re still on rue Principale.
  3. At the intersection of route 104, turn left. Pass the chemin du Golf and turn right on chemin Boulais.
  4. Continue on this road, which becomes rang de l’Église Nord and then changes to rang de l’Église-Sud. You are now in Saint-Ignace-de-Stanbridge. Notice the Euro-Spa Health Centre.
At the intersection of rang de l’Église Sud and route 235, carefully cross over and take the chemin Mystic to the left and continue until you’re back in Bedford.
