Sometimes, however, putting two fun things together can ruin the experience of both. Let’s be real, rides through the Dundas Valley are always pretty, and rides around Bayfront are always enjoyable. Usually, this would be dope, but it's only about 20ft long and abruptly terminates at a parking spot. The second notable infrastructure failure was in Westdale, where a new bike lane has been installed. If riding the route Bayfront -> Ancaster Meredith felt this would not be a beginner-friendly climb due to the hill's steepness mixed with the volume of traffic and lack of protected or marked bike lanes. This route has you ride up Ogilvie rd in Dundas, which, although it has green bike route signs off to the side, does not have bike lanes and cars have a tendency to be aggressive to cyclists making their way up the hill slowly. Two notable failures of infrastructure involved Ogilvie rd and a new bike lane in Westdale. Meredith rated the infrastructure at 8/10. However, some of the bike lanes ended abruptly, and signage was highly inconsistent. The trails and roads on this route were mainly in great condition. The primary issue with navigation on this ride involved stopping to try and figure out the city map repeatedly with little success, especially in the Dundas Valley. Its navigation score was a 4.5 out of 10 because although the Bayfront and city portion of the ride are paved with bike lanes and signage, the rest of the route is primarily unpaved with no bike lanes and no signage. This route received a 10/10 on how easy it was to find (if starting at Bayfront Park). If you are unfamiliar with the city and, in this case, the DVCA, you will likely get lost on the Dundas section of the ride. They also do not have GPX files of the route to download. Instead, you must rely on the city's PDF cycling map, which has part of the route covered by the legend and inconsistent street names, so you mostly navigate by guessing the shape of the route. One of the primary problems with this ride is that you cannot open the interactive map provided by the city on a cellphone browser. It may be easier if the starting point is Ancaster traveling into Bayfront Park. The accessibility score of this route was a 4 out of 10, and the leisure score was a 5 out of 10, meaning this route may be too much for the average family on entry-level bikes looking to go for a nice ride. Although the route starts off leisurely at Bayfront Park, the Dundas valley segment involves several steep, rooty, and rocky gravel climbs, including a 1km climb up Sulphur Springs road at the end. Someone who is looking for a fun, challenging ride to improve their cardio and technique. Rather than "easy," Mere felt that this ride would be more of a fitness ride for a newish/moderate cyclist.
