About 24 minutes / 23.6 km from central North Gower to our training base on Rouncey Rd in Kanata, calculated with OSRM on OpenStreetMap data without traffic. Allow extra time at rush hour and in winter.
Take Fourth Line Road and Century Road West, cut across on McCordick Road, then drive north on Eagleson Road all the way to Terry Fox Drive.
Eagleson Road runs almost straight north from the North Gower area to Kanata.
