So, this afternoon is CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY, where a new NASCAR champion will be crowned, so most of my day will involve lounging around watching cars go around in circles so I'm doing a urban hike in m hood, just to get a bit of exercise.

This urban hike will be about 9.5 km and I'd say the majority of this event will be on single track dirt trails, to hiking shoes/boots are recommended. However, there will be approx 3.5 km of road walking, just to keep it interesting.

Despite what the title of this event says, it's NOT quite a loop, it just goes around the outside of the neighborhood of West Lansing. It will start from outside the starbucks at North York Centre Station and head to Sheppard-Yonge Station.

In terms of hills, I've got three tough ones and one pretty easy one just to get your heart racing a bit.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking Boots or Hiking Shoes

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

We'll meet outside the Starbucks at North York Centre Subway Station. The Starbucks is located on the west of Yonge St and on the north side of Mel Lastman Square and across the street from Empress Walk Mall.

For those driving:

There is street parking in the area, west of Beecroft Rd

Or, there's a pay parking lot on the North-East corner at Empress/Park Home and Yonge Street, which is three traffic lights north of Sheppard Ave. Then it's just a short walk to the Starbucks, which is located on the south-west side.

Look for me in the Blue Toronto Outdoor Club T-Shirt.
