The By-Cycle Ride - Toronto to Ottawa and The Rideau Canal 
The By-Cycle Ride, is a one week tour from Toronto to Ottawa that travels along the shores of Lake Ontario to Kingston, former capital of Upper Canada, and then follows the Rideau Canal to Ottawa. Before it became Canada's capital, Ottawa was a small lumbering village called Bytown. It was named after Lieutenant-Colonel John By, who supervised the construction of the Rideau Canal, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We have named our new tour in honour of Colonel By.
If you plan on staying some extra time at the beginning or end of the trip there's lots to see in Toronto and in Ottawa. Where we stay in Toronto is close to regular transit service to the downtown core. Ottawa is very bike-friendly. Most attractions, such as the Parliament Buildings, the lively open-air Byward Market, and the museums and galleries are close to where we stay in Ottawa.
Accommodation is indoors with double occupancy. Contact us for information on single supplements or we will try to match you up with a rider of the same gender.
Breakfasts are provided by local hosts or in local restaurants. We provide one dinner mid-week. We'll make suggestions for dinnner at other locations near where you stay.
Group size will be limited to 20.
