Hey, does anyone know of any paved road biking trails near Mac? I know about the Brantford Rail Trail but I'm not sure how suitable it is for a road bike once you get past University Plaza.

Waterfront (from longwood?) and the Bruce trail (not paved but works good enough?)

The rail trail is pretty solid all the way to brantford, but I wouldnt say a road bike is the best for its terrain. But going down Governors road in Dundas is pretty good.

what about that small trail running parallel to cootes?

The waterfront trail is good, start at princess point and goes to bayfront park.

I've ridden on the brantford trail on a road bike, I would recommend it. I've even done the offroad trail a bit there on a road bike, would not recommend that, unless you're crazy.

If you're up for it, try going up Wilson st/County Road 2 to Ancaster. It's all uphill, then coming back downhill is a blast.

Rail trail is all gravel.

If you want to take your road bike for a spin, just cruise on some country roads either up Wilson into Ancaster, or head west once in Dundas
