I thought I'd start a thread in here to discuss any kind of cycling you've done, issues, news, whatever - outside of Waterloo Region! We have a great thread here for that: Cycling In Waterloo Region
I'll start off!

Yesterday, my husband and I biked most of the Welland Canal. We parked at the St. Catherines Museum, just off the Welland Canal Parkway, at Lock 3. Heading South from there, there's a good climb for the first ~5 km or so, between Lock 3 and Lock 7. It's probably the "roughest" part of the trail, and has some not-so-good sections:
...but seeing the locks in operation is so cool. It's great being able to stop wherever and watch as the huge ships come through!
The trail starts to flatten out again, and stays that way for a good long while. I always like seeing the Lift Bridges, too.
I'll start off!
