They came to ride.

And ride we did. A 34 km tour of Ottawa, just like last time! This time through the farm, over the locks of the canal, to the Hog’s Back and Mooney’s Bay, then up the river pathway all the way to the top where the rivers meet. From there we rode through the heavily fortified (watch those bayonettes!) gates and up the driveway to Rideau Hall, just for a quick look at the façade before heading back. Through the Market—with a stop for gelato!—and along the canal, around Dow’s Lake, through the farm to home.
