- Wednesday, May 22, 2024's 23 KM route, starting in Bordeleau Park, along MacKenzie to the Rideau Canal Eastern Pathway, to Hog’s Back, then north along the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to the Minto Bridges, and ending in Bordeleau Park.
Geese (and all the walking birds) on Ottawa bike paths have their own rules. Rule #1 for them is "We birds don't accommodate cyclists, they accommodate us". No bird has ever altered its behavior one bit regardless of whatever the cyclist does or tries. They will carry on and do what they do. If they are walking on the path, they will not stop or alter their course for any reason. If they are stopped on the path, they will not move for any reason. Their rule #2 is "We birds ain't squirrels. We own this place". Of course we know this, but we think "maybe it'll work just this one time".
They are pretty famous for not caring at all what goes on around them. If you dig back into some of the early videos (May last year), I came upon a cyclist struck a goose that walked into their way. Geese just… don't care.
