Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for this evening.

This 8 KM hike will start at Broadview Station and end at Chester Station.

The hike will be on a combination of single track dirt trails, sidewalks, wide gravel trails and paved park paths.
A warning, the Donaconda mountain bike trail is actually pretty sketchy and difficult to walk on, so if its wet or raining, I will omit it from the hike.

In terms of hills, there should be about 4 climbs, 2 of about 25 meters and another 2 that are at least 50 meters.

Sadly, there aren't any washrooms available on this hike, sorry.

Post hike, I'm going to head over to Dolce for some Gelato, if you'd like to join me.
