Itinerary:

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

This 9 KM hike will both start and finish at York Mills Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved park paths, grassy fields and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there should be 3 climbs.
One climb right at the beginning for 50 meters as well as a another 2 for 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at Banbury Community Rec Centre located about 5 KM into the hike.

For those unfamiliar with how I lead my hikes.

If you see me walking at a certain pace, you don’t have to walk at the same pace as me (I like to talk to different people on a hike, so I walk I different paces)
If you’d like to walk faster than me, that’s cool, if you like to walk slower than me, that’s cool too
We’ll meet up as a group when we take a major turn, cross a major intersection or if I think the group is getting too far separated.
We’ll do a water break, breather and sure everyone is aliver
I have two requests:
1. If you choose to walk in front of me and you don’t know where you’re going, please stop and wait as I an’t going to chase after you.
2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.
