This is a delightful ride designed by Mary. It starts at Aldershot Go station and follows quiet roads to the Royal Botannical Gardens. We ride around Hamilton Harbour. After the harbour, there is an approximate 10 kms through the centre of Hamilton to reach the east end of Hamilton and the entrance to Confederation Park and the Hamilton Beach Trail.  From that trail, we cross into Burlington (dine at  the Express Restaurant, if you wish) and end at the Burlington Go.

There are washrooms at Union Go and Aldershot Go.    There is a Tim Hortons on Plains Rd. near the beginning of the ride.
