I've had to start my commute from the Kanata Park & Ride since a construction
crew scooped my parking spot at the Corkstown Pool - its just great going in but I'm
somewhat leery about coming back on Corkstown at sunset.
The worst part of the trip is getting across 417 - the access from Corkstown
onto the Eagleson Expressway is hardly bike friendly even though there's a bike lane
on the latter. I know I could opt for the Trim Road alternative, but I find the gravel
paths of the TCT are a litlle too liberally spread with the loose stuff for cornering
at speed (and there are lots of corners !).
All that being said, cycle commuting sure beats the alternative !

Although cold, the weather is decent, and the conditions can be very
pretty. Tuesday, I had a nice ride from Bell's Corners to Kanata, on
pathways, with a lovely light carpet of fallen leaves. It was so nice,
I thought of "calling in well" and keeping going. But I didn't.
Tomorrow - Friday - looks reasonable, and Monday is a maybe. The
Weather Network
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/cities/can/Ottawa_ON.htm predicts white
stuff Tuesday, however.
