Great vid! Fyi, the old rail bridge/pedestrian walkway in town is closed because it's being removed. The property on Mill Street with the no trespassing signs was being converted to condos a few years ago but then the project stopped and it's now in limbo. Cheers.

Thanks for the info! Glad to have some answers to a few of the questions I had!

Gananoque could be so bicycle-friendly. It is a lovely town. Bike paths attract tourists.

It really is a beautiful little town! The main drag along Highway 2 can be really busy but otherwise it's pretty nice to bike along the streets there

Use of your insta360 is amazing!

Thanks, Chris!

Nice ride. I totally think that all paved roads should have a paved shoulder. It makes the road last longer, because the road deteriorates from the outside in. Think of the trail system that would make.

That's another great perspective to have too! It makes things safer for cyclists, less frustrating for drivers (and stops bottlenecks from happening on busy roads) and it also keeps the main driving surface fresh longer. It's worth the little bit of extra cost to widen out these narrower roads.

A big question that has me wondering. With all these one way rides ( Train Station down to River in this one), Do you have a "sag wagon" crew that follows you ? Or drops you off at the point of origin and meets you at the culminating location? Do you cycle from home to all these wonderful trails ?

If it's far from home, I pick a spot to drive out to then hop on my bike. In this case, the car was parked by the locomotive in downtown Gan. But, I've done a few longer rides where I needed to be picked up/dropped off and I'm really grateful to everyone who helped out on those trips. 👍 Realistically, I'm good for a solid 80km on any given day. If I push myself, About 130km is my max before I wear out. So I've got to keep that in mind when I go out. I have another ride I'm planning out soon that will be about 100km so my options are get a lift when I reach the end or do it myself in two trips after driving out to different access points. The logistics are fun to figure out sometimes

Maybe those dug up sections are the start of a bridge

When I was looking at doing this ride, I noticed that the section north of the 401 was a lot less traveled than south of it. Even the streetview imagery made the north end look a bit iffy to visit, but I thought I'd give it a try. I was hoping I could take it all the way up to the county rd. Just before the main CN line, but wasn't sure if it'd be possible or not. Hard to say what the plan is with me not being a local, but looking at how grown in the section north of the part that's dug up is, and also knowing it passes right through a golf course, I got the vibe that it's a no-go zone now.
