We decided to go for a bike ride, so we rented some bikes from our garage where a lovely gentleman ensured that our bike tires were properly inflated. (he said it was the first time the bikes were to be used this season!)
We biked down to the Rideau River, and then south along its banks to Vincent Massey Park and Hog's Back Falls. It's proper name is Prince of Wales Falls, but don't refer to as this... the locals will have NO idea what your talking about! There used to be a rock shaped like a pig's back in the river and that's how the falls got its name.

Along the bike ride we saw a lot of damage from a recent windstorm. This tree we estimated to be about 75 years old. There's an amazing number of trees in this city!
