Greg Nance submitted the Route:

Began at Montreal Airport's (YUL) arrivals level then crossed the 520 highway onto Victoria Street before it merged into Notre Dame Street West. Lots of roadwork and construction but otherwise an easy 21.47km from outskirts into heart of Old Montreal at the Notre Dame Basilica.
