Itinerary:

So, there's a trail near the G. Ross Lord Park dam which I've been interested in exploring for about 15 years.
To this point, I've never checked it out, so tonight we will give it a go.

This 10.5 KM hike will start at Finch Subway Station and go to Sheppard-Yonge Station.
However, if my new trail doesn't work out, then this hike could be up to 12 KM as we'll have to backtrack a bit, but on paper, it appears to work.

The hike will be on a combination of paved park paths, single track dirt trails and a few sidewalks.

In terms of hills, there should be at least 2 of 25 meters.
If my side trail doesn't work out, there will be a bonus hill, but I'm hoping it does.

A rare two washroom stops on the hike tonight.
One, located at the antibes community centre, 3 KM into the hike
A second located in Bathurst Manor park, located 8-9 KM into the hike.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE BETWEEN BROADVIEW AND WOODBINE STARTING AT 11 PM TONIGHT
