Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for this evening.

This 6.5 KM hike will start at Royal York Station and end at Jane Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved roads, single track trails and gravel trails.

In terms of hills, there should be one 25 meter climb, right at the end of the hike.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Park Lawn Bubble Rink around 3 KM into the hike.

Post hike, I'm thinking about grabbing a pint at the best pub in the west end, "Bryden's" if anyone would like to join me.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE'S A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN OSGOODE STATION AND BLOOR-YONGE STATION STARTING AT 11 PM THIS EVENING

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'HERE ON AMAZON'.
