Bike ride along the Rideau


Biking along the Rideau Canal

Yesterday was a slow day as we continued to unpack from our recent camping trip. It was quite late in the day when we finally picked a bike ride along the Rideau canal over a paddle on the Rideau canal.

We were going to start at Hog's Back Falls but as luck would have it today was the day of the world renown Hope Volleyball Tournament. So we headed down a little further and lucked out with a spot along the Arboretum. From there we biked down and around Dow's Lake and back up the canal to Mooney's Bay.

Snacks were lacking but fluids were plenty as I had the kids testing out their new bladders from MEC. They were a definite hit.

Afterwards we headed home for fresh honey garlic sausages on the BBQ with a side order of Quebec maple syrup and brown beans. Mmm mmm good.

Nice head Kazoo! and what exactly is "fresh sausage"?

I hate bike helmets. And you're right I do look like The Great Kazoo from the Flintstones.

"Fresh" means local butcher. I suppose I should have just said that.
