Hi Guys,

Completely random question - but does anyone know how long it would take to cycle from Kanata to Downtown Ottawa on the cycle path? I'll have my 2 kids with me, the 5 year old on a 3rd wheel trailer type thing and the 8 year old under his own steam! Can't seem to find the cycle paths on Google.

Thanks

you are kidding right??? No.1 there are no cycle paths that go cross country. The cycle paths would stop once you've left Kanata. Kanata is some 20 miles from downtown Ottawa if not more. Not of course unless you are an "olympic" trained family in which case, "crack on"

There are quite a few paths that will take you downtown - personally i've been from Stittsville to the Parliament buildings without any problems. I work in Kanata and we even have a couple of guys that cycle in from Orleans and Hull. I wouldn't attempt it with kids though - it is a bit of a trek!

stand corrected, didn't know that cross country cycle paths existed to downtown and this is coming from someone with a bike in the garage that still has no dirt on the wheels! Still as you say, not to be done with kids.

I knew I had it somewhere :

Should give you all the cycle routes in Ottawa, there is a google maps version out these somewhere but I can't seem to find it now.

Hope this helps!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies! Have just returned from our trek - 2 hours each way and a total of 31.3 miles! Had a great day out - I am extremely knackered now, but 8 years old and 5 year old are still running around!
