Where to find Ottawa-Gatineau’s


outdoors honeys and hunks LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES BY KATHLEEN WILKER Like wasps to a picnic, outdoor enthusiasts from across the country are


drawn to Ottawa-Gatineau. If you’re a newcomer in a region full of all the outdoors fun you could ask for, we at Ottawa Outdoors thought we’d help you find a mate to share the trails, the rivers, the good times and the sore muscles.


And in case your pick-up lines are rustier than your winter bike, our sport-specific romantic openers will get you headed in the right direction.


SKATEBOARDER Where to find him: Ottawa Skatepark, Baseline and Woodroffe, near Ben Franklin Place What to look for: Dude who lands his moves with style What to avoid: Dude who throws his board around when things don’t go his way What to say: “Sick tricks, bro!” Best first date: Your half pipe or his, doesn’t matter.


ROWER Where to find her: On the Ottawa River at dawn What to look for: At least one strong arm What to avoid: Someone who’s not pulling her weight What to say: Our mixed team needs another girl. Could you help us out? Best first date: Ottawa Rowing Club classes in case your rowing skills are not as polished as your charm www.ottawarowingclub.com.


ROAD BIKER Where to find her: Passing you on Fortune. What to look for: Rock-solid calves What to avoid: Can’t change a flat What to say: “Mind if I draft you, baby?” Best first date: Sharing Gatorade at Champlain Lookout while the sun sets.


ULTIMATE PLAYER Where to find him: Through the Ottawa Sport and Social Club www.ossc.ca where you can join as an individual or a team and play the sports you love. We’ve heard this isn’t a singles club, but “Recess for Adults” is definitely a great place for fit 25-40s to get to know each other. What to look for: Can catch even the wildest throw.
