Ride trails and streets of Etobicoke from Downsview station to the lake and back



This weekend is perfect for an easy ride in the city. All riders welcome even if you would like to join along the way or drop out early (please specify in notes when signing up for the ride.)

You must be comfortable riding in traffic as part of the route is on busy roads. Ride distance is around 50 km so it should take about 3 hours to complete. If we get hungry, we can stop for lunch at Chalkers pub.

Ride will be canceled if raining. Please dress appropriately as it may warm up later in the day. If arriving by car, please have your bike ready by the departure time.
