To get back to the original topic, I am saddened by the way that
quality of life is now taking second place to urban sprawl in the city of
Ottawa. When I first started with a cycling club, I lived in London,
England. To avoid riding through endless suburbs, my club used three
different starting points for destinations west, north and south. The club
issued an anuual handbook detailing the destinations, so as long as you
didn't lose it, you knew where to meet. From where I lived, no destination
was more than 8 miles distant from home, half an hour's riding at most.
The idea could work in Ottawa, but those living in the west might
think twice about riding to a start point in Orleans, and vice versa. A
single, more southerly start point also makes a lot of sense, however.
