I just want to give a nod to the city of Ottawa as a place I would gladly return to visit. I rode through there this summer crossing the Rideau Canal on the Corkstown Bridge with its numerous padlocks (the first time I'd seen "love locks" anywhere) and then following the canal path to an eventual the crossing of the Ottawa river over the Alexandra Bridge from whence I continued my way north. Lovely city. Good vibes.
