Cycling Outside Waterloo Region
#91
Ottawa.

We came up to my parents' place for the long weekend and they're not far from Ottawa.  My other half said before we left "...you know they have those paved bike trails you like so much there, right?"

:: blank stare ::

:: frantically loads google maps ::

:: drools everywhere ::

Yesterday the weather was questionable in the morning but by lunch time it was looking fantastic, so we popped the bikes back on our rack and parked at Andrew Haydon Park.

In total, we rode about 35 km - from there to Parliament, with a jaunt down the O-Train spur.  Here are some photos!

   
It took us a little while to figure out what was going on here... but the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway had closed the Westbound Lanes to open it for cyclists, a programme sponsored by NOKIA on Sundays.

   
"You know they have those paved bike trails there that you like so much, right?"

   
I think it was at about this point that my cheeks started hurting from grinning so hard.

   
For as long as I've been coming here (almost all of my family lives within ~100 km of Ottawa), I'd never been down to see these locks!

   
Parliament, and the Supreme Court of Canada, from a totally different vantage point than I was used to.
