Today I learned Google has some funny idead about bike routes. I already noticed earlier that it has no problem sending you the wrong way down oneway streets and sometimes refuse to take roads that are perfectly legal to follow, instead it likes to make detours like this:
Google 'street' view of the other end of a path it send me on. The actual path is a tiny dirt path through fields and bushes, completely overgrown in summer. I managed to follow it yet where this picture was taken there are big red signs, no trespassing, a gated community. So I had to turn back through the overgrown field again.
Another part of my route following the grand river ended up like this
The nice actual bike path I was following deteriorated into this and apparently I had to cross throgh the swamp to continue. I followed the more main looking path and dead ended on the left,b turned back. I only had a zoomed out printout with me. The trail looked fine at the start at the end so I didn't finecomb through the whole thing beforehand. Kitchener has some funny ideas about bike routes!
I found my way in the end. Multi million dollar houses overlooking the river there and a dirt trail lol.
