Road ride from St. Catherine's train station back to Oakville.
This ride is both road and Waterfront Trail. It goes through Niagara wine and fruit farm country, then heads down to the shore of Lake Ontario and follows a mostly paved path to Burlington before returning to the road. Grimsby Beach with it's colourful houses is worth exploring/riding through.

Road ride
It's an early spring Road ride. Messy from the snow melt but feeling warm. People strolling on the beaches, even bare feet!

Road ride
With Road closures on #1 Sideroad and Walkers Line, frustrating, but mitigated by an unscheduled coffee and buttertart stop at Springridge Farm.

Gravel and Road ride in Dundas Valley
Beautiful weather for a ride. Good route starting from Aldershot GO station. My only caution; York Rd to Hwy #6 can get busy and the tarmac, especially along the edges is bad.

Gravel and Road ride
I tried to ride the Elora Cataract Trailway but this did not work out as planned. Sections of the trailway are closed and I had to detour along roads. The gravel riding in this area is great but plan carefully.
