I was really quite impressed with the trail networks in Ottawa. We only got a little time to explore them while we were there (and it was freezing cold) but we'd see them more next time we return. Sadly, I really have no excuse to go there except for sightseeing.
Today my partner and I biked to Hamilton using the trails that go through Brantford. Was a really nice ride, albeit punctuated by a flat tire (no bike shops open on Victoria Day). I'm really impressed with the trail near Hamilton, it's really quite popular, and has a couple of stops which reminded me of the Petite-train-du-nord in Quebec. I even saw a few people who had lugged Sobi bikes up the ... so called ... mountain. Still, a pretty big climb on that type of bike.
Still, I think going down the mountain, and taking the GO Bus back is the way to do
--even if you do have to go through Square One.
Here's the GPS track of our ride: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FG4slr...sp=sharing
