COVID has been a little bit of a blessing where this segment is concerned if I'm being honest. It means that Carleton has been a ghost town in general and even more so on evenings and weekends. This segment starts on a shared pathway that pedestrians use, so best to use some caution and keep your eyes peeled. 
This segment is really fun to ride and kind of challenging because the first concrete ramp is tucked in between a couple of building and kicks up and twists around a bit of a blind corner and then you end up zig-zagging up the rest of the hill as it switches to a paved service road that is also kinda hidden in the middle of campus. At the top you can head south to Mooney's Bay and Hogsback via the grass shoulder on the east side (if you want to avoid the bike path on the west side of Colonel By), or you can head north and cross the Hartwell Locks into the Arboretum. I usually approach Carleton from Old Ottawa South and head through Brewer Park and House of Paint into the campus on the way to this segment. Lots to explore in the area. ​
