@WTL Looks like there's a nice trail along the Rideau River.

@rdfranke There is a great recreational pathway along the Rideau River all the way up to Hog's Back, which connects to the routes along the Rideau Canal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Bz-28X40w

@WTL Thanks for the video clip. That is a nice pathway and beautiful country. I watched a few minutes up front then skipped ahead several times for a short view. I live in the Santa Cruz area in California and we don't have anything like that. There is a path being built slowly that will circle the San Francisco Bay when completed. Again, thanks.

@rdfranke We’re extremely fortunate here in Ottawa; we have nearly 800km of paths.

rdfranke, 10 months ago

@WTL Based on your comment that Ottawa has 800km of paths, I was curious. I found at https://ottawa.ca an impressive amount of info on the Ottawa paths. The paths along both sides of the Ottawa River must also be really nice. You are fortunate.

I know that you know this, but I'm including a link to the Ottawa and Gatineau path map for other's that may see our exchange and are interested in bike vacation options.

@rdfranke I have that very map saved in my phone. Which reminds me, I've been meaning to nag the NCC (National Capital Commission) to update that map - it was created back in 2018.

@WTL aren't you running at 5:54 km/h? I'm a fast walker and with the right shoes I get to 7 km/h. Below that it's definitely running

WTL, 10 months ago

@s1m0n4 That was a typo (corrected); it was actually 9:54/km - a bit more than 6km/hr.

@WTL That was a pretty fast walk.

@WTL Looks great to me. Did you really walk at a pace of 5:54/km? That‘d be very fast.

WTL, 10 months ago

@sebastianhahn Edited. 9:54/km, not 5. Doh.

sebastianhahn, 10 months ago

@WTL Still pretty fast!
