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!

Here we are: Brantford to Hamilton Rail Trail
For this hike I team up with Dano to tackle the Brantford to Hamilton Rail Trail. The trail provided some beautiful sights and in spite of the challenge from the weather we were in high spirits the whole way.

Cycling the Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail
I took this video while riding towards Brantford on the Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail. It was late May 2013 and it was still pretty cold out. I was waiting for the sun to set to find somewhere to stealth camp.

Walking Along The Trail - Canada - Hamilton Rail Trail
Chat with Chronamut & friends:
A video I did of me walking along the hamilton rail trail - very peaceful! I start by going down the escarpment stairs where you can see a nice expansive view of the city, and then walk along the trail, looking at random sites , abandoned structures, water treatment plants, until I cross over the highway, and then turn back and return along the bruce trail.
The trail is right near my house so it's nice - there is also the red hill trail that goes up to the escarpment and down to the lake, so I can traverse all over the place in nature - I will do the red hill trail one later :)
You might find this one a bit odd in spots where it seems to warp - this is because as I was walking the camera would shake with each footstep - not quite sure how to solve that - so I used googles anti-shake function to even it out - so while it may be weird and warpey at least you won't feel seasick watching it like you originally would hehe..
enjoy!

Best of TCT - Hamilton-Brantford ON
There are several wonderful trails in the Hamilton-Brantford area, but the rail trail between West Hamilton and Brant's Crossing in Brantford was my pick to be one of the Best of the Trans Canada Trail.
