The Port Robinson Ferry sounds like a great idea, but 80 km is just a little too much. Maybe there is another way to fit that into a ride. If there are any nice places to visit I could drive there with the bike on the rack, for example towards the west, the family could take the car back, and I could ride back. Any suggestions for that type of ride?
Where are you staying? Niagara Falls itself?
The prettiest ride would be to Niagara on the Lake, and perhaps on to St Catherines. You could ride to NOTL and then on to the start of the Welland Canal (maybe 10km). Then double back to meet the family at NOTL for lunch, and they drive back and you ride. There are lots of things for them to do on the way to NOTL and the way back -- botanical gardens, floral clock, Brock Monument, tour of the hydro electric power station (which is actually very interesting). Alternative would be to drive to the
museum on the Welland Canal and leave them to drive back from there while you take the bike path back along the Canal, through NOTL and along the parkway to Niagara Falls.
When are you going to be there?
