Cycling Outside Waterloo Region

100K is a great day on the bike! The only section I haven't done on the rail trail is between Brantford and Highway 52. From 52 into Hamilton is a very scenic stretch... I used to go to trade school on the edge of Ancaster and would park there and ride into Hamilton and back up. I also like the part of the trail that goes through the old gravel pit just before Brantford. If you're ever doing that stretch again and have the time and legs for a few more km the ride down through McMaster and to Cootes Paradise and under the 403 to the Waterfront trail is pretty nice too. Hamilton has some great trails, the climb up the escarpment rail trail is really nice and so is the Red Hill Valley trail though it had some gnarly stretches near the top that were tricky on a road bike, both trails lead to Albion Falls which is quite pretty.
