EVENT DETAILS

So, once a month I get a massage and I'm always tired for about 24 hours after.
However, I still like to get some fresh air and exercise, so this will be just be a short slower urban hike.

So, today's 5.5 KM is just a short loop both starting and finishing at Dundas West Station Station.
Interesting spots include

  1. 'Wallace Avenue Pedestrian Bridge'
  2. 'West Toronto Railpath'.
  3. 'Neslie Chocolate Factory'

This hike will be primarily on paved paths and sidewalks.

In terms of hills, there's one decently long staircase going over the Wallace Avenue Pedestrian Bridge near the beginning of the hike.

Sadly, there won't be able open washrooms on this hike. Also, the nearest washroom to Dundas West Station is about 5 minutes away.

We'll aim for a slower pace of 3.5 to 4 KM/h

Post hike if anyone is interested, I'm going to head over to King Slice for one of their famous pizza slices for lunch.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN FINCH & ST CLAIR STATION THIS WEEKEND
