Another update from my run: -Mud lake loop is 99.9% snow and ice free and only minimally muddy. I imagine other similarly wooded areas are in like conditions. -Not many turkeys, they seem to have moved to other parts of town. #OttBike #OttRun

#OttBike #OttRun Report -The Ottawa is rising. The New Orchard tunnel is flooded at the north end. I was on my little trucker and got wet feet, you might be ok on a normal adult sized bike. Detour up around to Richmond and then cross after the bridge and loop around if you want to avoid the water. -Dry all along the main MUPs west to at least the greenbelt trail turn off. -The detour around Watts Creek and Corkstown is a bit of a mess. Signage isn't clear but the road had no cars and that worked out. -Greenbelt trail is crossed by seasonal streams especially on the north end, but totally passable. -Rail trail west to Stittsville is fine. I hate the Kanata crossings but the city hates bikes so 🤷🏼‍♂️ That's as far as I went today. 50km round trip.

@dairpo@ottawa.place The mud will return later today. Also, i developed a turkey on Easter Monday. It spent two hours looking around and passed on nesting here. That's probably fine. #OttBike #OttRun
