Bikes: Old Norco frame in conversion process

I has some routes I want to try but getting out of town seems to all center as follows:
(I live near 14St, 17Ave SW)
  • Ride out of city:
    • West, 14th Ave to 29th St,
    • swing back to 17th,
    • cross Sarcee into the bike trails up to Strathcona Dr.
    • Take the backroads by the old place to 85th St
      • Go North to Hwy 1 West - Sibbald or
      • South to Glenmore Trail Glenmore (Hwy 8) west to Hwy 22 (25KM)
  • C-Train:
    • Remember the hours:
      • Weekdays: before 6:30 a.m., 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., and after 6 p.m.
      • Weekends: any time
    • Get to 15th and 15th,
    • north to 14th Ave,
    • right to 11 St,
    • left to 8th Ave
    • Follow 8th Ave to 7th St
    • Get to C-Train
    • bring the bike on to Somerset Hwy 22x west – Bragg Creek
Just one thing about the C-Train, I will have a trailer (http://www.tonystrailers.com/cargo/#fdprices) and I'd love to know how easy this would be to get on/off.
