I got a bit lost in the Rockcliffe Air Force Base area recently and ended up riding down this segment and found myself sort of in the middle of the on-ramp that goes from the Aviation Parkway to the Sir George-Etienne Cartier Parkway. I was out of time that day, but made it a point to return to ride up it.

The area that used to be Rockcliffe Air Force Base is presently under heavy development and will turn into a subdivision over time. Right now though, there's a ton of awesome places to ride and one way in and out of the area is the Col de Polaris.

Admittedly, this segment is a little ridiculous, but Tabor is famous in the Cyclocross world, so when you find a street named Tabor with a super-tight switchback on it, well then you have to take note. In fact, I'm calling this the tightest switchback in Ottawa. Prove me wrong!
