Tulip Time in Ottawa...Cyclon Test Weekend
On the Victoria Day long weekend Paul and I drove to Ottawa to test rides that we will be leading on the August 1st weekend at Cyclon. We stayed at the University of Ottawa residence which is where the rides will begin. Saturday was cool, overcast and threatening rain but a fiddling group played toe-tapping songs beside the Ottawa River. The crabapple trees were in full bloom. The flowering trees and lilacs were along the Rideau Canal. While it was "Tulip Festival" weekend, there were thousands of people among the tulips, too many for us to join... so we took photos of the crabapple blossoms instead.
