If you just happen to spontaneously
ride into the Old Port of Montreal, drop by the Latitude Amsterdam in the Jacques-Cartier bassin and come and say hi. We'll be sailing into port Thursday 28 August and staying at the Old Port for a bit over a week before we head down to Quebec to run our next Bike & Boat Tour.
In Ottawa, you must ride the Rideau Canal or Gatineau Park, especially on a Sunday. The Gatineau Park parkway (and a number of other sites around Ottawa) is closed to traffic on Sunday and is opened only to pedestrians, roller bladers and bikes.
Cheers,
Ron
