Write Up:
David B and Jim O drove to Ottawa on Friday afternoon, and met up with Gerald O. On Saturday and Sunday, the three of them managed to complete various bike rides in the Ottawa area, on the city's wonderful system of bike-paths. All three completed the experimental farm loop, which parallels the Ottawa River for part of the way; the Rockcliff Parkway ride (which goes past the Prime Minister's residence); and the Gatineau Hills Loop. Jim O also rode on the beginning segment of the Route Verte, which goes east from downtown Gatineau. On Monday, while travelling back to Toronto, Jim O and David B stopped in Kingston and went on a 1.5 hour ride there, along the Kingston Waterfront and around Queen's University.

It was a wonderful weekend of cycling!
