OTTAWA: A Cyclist's PARADISE Part 1

Ottawa's always been one of my favourite places to cycle. Back when I was living there, it wasn't quite as bike friendly as it is today, but the infrastructure for cycling was still amazing. It's there that I averaged about 20,000 km a year cycling in the last few years I was able to ride an old school bike before knee problems slowed me down.

This trip brings me back to my favourite city to cycle in, taking a mostly typical route I used to do through the city along the paths & roads. But, it wouldn't be an exciting trip out if all I did was rehash old routes, so I plotted out a few new places to check out and then hit the pavement. It didn't all go to plan, but that's all a part of the adventure!

Part 1 takes me from Bruce Pit to the Deschênes Rapids Lookout.
