re: "Come See Your Money"

A few years ago, the newly created Super Ottawa arising from the multiple bouroughs in and around the area held a contest for a new logo. The eventual winner was "Technically Beautiful" or something like that, alluding to all of our parks plus acknowleging our Hi-Tech sector. Dumb if you ask me.

So the National Post had it's own mock contest and the phrase "Ottawa, Come See Your Money" was one of the entrants. I kinda like it and it's stuck with me all these years.

So Fist, what kind of cycling do you do and what region are you going to settle? BTW, I'm a roadie and the only real partner I have is my nephew who mtb's for Queen's interclub team. He bought a roadie last spring and we did some great rides to the south as well as one trek up into the Gats. The pinnacle of the climb is Champlain Lookout that offers a magnificient view of the Ottawa valley. Awesome ride. In the Gats there comes a point in the Fall before the snow flies where they close it off to cars. Lots of cyclists continue to frequent the roads. Once the snow falls, the x-country skiers take over....

BTW, you can google the NCC pathway system and see their interactive map. It gives you a good overview of the main pathway system in and around the NCR.

Keep in touch.
