And across Ottawa you can continue following a bicycle route using the Nyberg countraflow bike lanes and then take Delta Street to Floral Crescent and either turn left on Rockway Drive and follow the signs to Fairview Mall or continue on Doon Road and follow the little sidewalk cut where the roads turns and cross over to Carlin Avenue and then cross the expressway on the bridge. It's a good vantage for the construction or just to enjoy watching traffic. There's a network of little trails connecting this subdivision to Wilson Park and along Dryden creek. You could even follow Wilson down until Homer Watson park and there's a nice chunk of trails there and Mill Park road will take you to Conestoga college and to the bridge that crosses the 401 and you can follow the trail until downtown Galt where you can take the trail all the way to Paris, Brantford, Hamilton or Port Dover. Kinda wild when you think about how far one can ride without having to mingle with traffic too much.
