Route Verte 5 east from the hotel. It is about 50% dedicated path, 30% a pair of bike lanes carved out of one road lane and the rest riding along the street. Eastbound the route was pretty well marked except when you were riding on the road you had to look beyond the intersection for the bike/car share sign to make sure you were going the right way.
The route ended at the ferry station, where there was a really nice park.
Coming back, a couple of corners weren’t marked well enough for me to see so I was dependent on either noticing something unfamiliar or seeing where the bike lane was marked beyond the intersection. It started to rain 1/3 of the way back - against the forecast low probability. Of course, I had two rain jackets in the hotel room and none with me. At least I had already finished the big climb so I had a net descent and a largely flat finish in the wet.
