MANDATORY PRE-MEETING INFO AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ITINERARY SECTION!!!

Have you been thinking about self-supported bike touring, but not sure where to begin? If yes, this event is for you!

We will meet at Old Mill Subway Station and take Humber river trail north for 23km until hitting Indian Line campground. This campground is neither the prettiest nor the quietest one, but it is right on the bike trail!

We will set up camp there and spend the rest of the day exploring trails of Clairville Conservation Area nearby. We will return to the camp for dinner and a good night sleep.

The next day we will cook breakfast, ride around some more and then head back home

There will be a mandatory pre-meeting on 27 April, 6pm. Please sign-up for the event only if you can make it to the pre-meeting. I will arrive on my bike and show my equipment. You are welcome to bring your bike and show your setup.
