June 1 to 30, 2009

We’re planning dozens of activities for all ages during our first Bicycle Month. There are films, an art exhibit, bike mechanics workshops, a lecture by a bike historian about how the bicycle can change society, a bike rodeo for youth, a bike writing competition, and of course many, many opportunities to explore our beautiful landscape on two wheels.

Mississippi Mills is 30 minutes west of the nation’s capital. It includes the town of Almonte, a vibrant village with chic boutiques and fine eateries. It also includes four hamlets — Appleton, Blakeney, Clayton and Pakenham — all of which are delightful to visit by bicycle. We invite you to ride our rural roads, and perhaps the occasional rugged hill. Stop in at one of our museums. Pack a lunch or pick one up at Foodies on Mill St. Enjoy the waterfalls and heritage buildings. And remember, you’re never more than 30 minutes away from a good ice cream cone.
