Cataraqui Cycle

Fri. 22 September:  Cataraqui Cycle


No photos today!  Perhaps I should leave my camera behind more often.  It would not have done justice to the typical scenery along the route of the Cataraqui Trail, with kilometre after kilometre of tree-lined, grass-covered pathway, sprinkled with newly-fallen leaves:  a multitude of subtly changing colours and shadows. 

I travelled fifty kilometres in four hours, starting at the well-positioned Lombardy Fairgrounds and heading south all the way to Forfar – for a well-earned ice cream (of course).   On the return journey I side-tracked into Portland to relax in the idyllic Hanna Park beside Rideau Lake, a picture-postcard setting.

Make the best of this amazing early Fall weather and travel the Cataraqui Trail - and don't bother with a camera.
