For practise towards cycling the TransCanadaTrail, I suspect that Prince Edward County's Millenium Trail is the best place to go.
It's BAD! Big rocks cover the trail.
The gravel on it is the lowest grade that you can get.
However, it spite of not being able to look around because of the rocks, you can open your ears to the music of mating birds.
The calls are exquisite at this time of year.
Yesterday, I saw the Rose-breasted Grosbeak singing the most wonderful song just above me on an over-hanging branch. I also heard the Pileated Woodpecker in the Wellington Golf Course Woods.
Today, there were a couple of khaki-coloured Finches mating on the wing less than 10 feet from the bike, and a red male Cardinal flitting among the thickets in front of me in another area so I stopped to sit and watch.
Be sure to look for poison ivy first before sitting down on the Millenium Trail.
