Brantford to Hamilton Rail Trail

This is my first 50 km ride, on the Brantford to Hamilton Rail Trail. The trail follows the original route of the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway (TH&B). Starting at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area, heading toward Brantford, the trail rises ~110 m in the first 7 kilometres.  As I left, this was a good reminder that the "home stretch" would be very rewarding!  The remaining 23 km into Brantford it drops back down about 35 m - in other words, hardly noticeable and generally very flat (hey, it's a railway route, remember).  Coming back I realized I'd had a very gentle tailwind the whole way out - it was just enough to really knock down my average speed and I was quite tuckered out for the last 10 km, but that long downhill run for the final bit really helped. The surface quality of the trail is top notch - it's crushed limestone (I think?), and it is better maintained than what I remember the Paris to Cambridge trail being.  I highly recommend checking it out!
