寻访小镇Merrickville

或许中长距离的骑行给人日后远行的信心, 周末一人去了65公里开外的小镇Merrickville,也算是周末的休闲吧。


开车来到市郊西南的riverside, 然后跨上自行车, 沿着市郊river road, 伴随身边车来车往,很快来到了出城最后小镇--Manotick.




Manotick小镇依在Rideau河边, 桥上眺望---今天的旅程就将沿河蜿蜒而下。


Manotick太小, 上主街刚加速,就已穿城而过, 眼前豁然开朗的则是广阔田野,蓝天白云和无尽的乡村路。 

路上几乎没人,间或驶过一两辆小车, 剩下只有我的影子,和这辆破车.




独自在这一里路狂奔,每个上坡起身似乎摇动世界 踏板在这没完没了的乡村路上仿佛拉动地球--大地在退后,偶遇的车队在退后,伴随我心飞翔;



行过Rideau Park的大桥后, 柳暗花明的是一片田园诗意。





 这段路程应是此行的目的之一吧? 如同置身世外桃圆,一边是古树掩映下的老房子,一边是青纱帐; 我闻到花香,听到虫鸣,车轮翁翁脆响;


bbb
这样走过了一村又一村;... ...,经过 这一段令人留恋的Rideau heritage trail





看到标记牌后的两公里,古镇Merrickville就在眼前了。
这是有着两三百年历史,未受现代工商业冲击和污染的历史小镇。

这里有乡村工艺店。


这里有老教堂;


这里有古建筑,


这里繁花似锦;




这里有古色古香的石头房;


这里有人骑单车,

。... ... ??
这里曾有我。

  1. Nice pictures. I rode to osgoode once and had passed manotick. Very nice little towns. Had a home made hot dog at manotick's farmer's market and washed down with an apple cider. Still remember the taste. :-)

    1. yes, I went to a coffee shop to take rest on Manotick on the way back. I consider it's the start point of tour, since not so much traffic after that. the ride becomes enjoyable.

      Merrickville looks much nicer than Manotick thou.
