5-8 Day Routes Near Ottawa, ON?

[milesarbour]

Hi!
I'm a student in an Outdoor Adventure Program near Ottawa ON and looking to start planning a bike packing final expedition. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for multi-day routes with the potential to restock food every 2 days or so within a 6 hour drive of Ottawa, Ontario?

Would be ideal to see some single track, and willing to link together some side trails. On / off road is fine.

Key point: trip happens mid-April. We're not riding fat bikes, so snow can possibly hinder our choices!

Thanks!
Miles

Check out the Adirondack Trail Ride route for ideas:

It's about a 3-hour-ish drive from Ottawa to the Lake Placid area.  Resupply locations are on the page I linked you to, but I don't know if they are 2 days' riding apart. Your April itinerary may be the biggest problem if you want to ride off-road, as everything within 6 hours of here might still have snow, or at least be really soggy... 
Cheers,
Kim

Thanks for the response Kim!
I will take a look.

The other option is convincing a group to fly out to the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, a classic, that we can get on and off to find some single track. BC in April might be more appropriate than Ontario?

Hi Miles,
April in BC may pose the same snow issues depending on the elevation of the trail you choose
