What/Why:
Experience the nature and greenery Toronto has to offer, while getting some sun and exercise, as we hit Toronto's bike trails!

** PLEASE POST ON THE WALL IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS DATE BUT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ANOTHER DATE**  Thanks.

ROUTE
We'll meet up at Eglinton West subway station on a Sunday then head east through the Beltine, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Taylor Creek Park, eventually go south all the way down to Queen Street.  We can then make a pit stop OR a brunch stop then continue on down to the Beach(es) then head west to the Martin Goodman trail, concluding at Coronation Park.

You can see the route for yourself by having a look on http://www.toronto.ca/...

SPEED
We will not be looking to set any speed records but we should maintain a moderate pace because we have some ground to cover.  There are multiple drop off points for subway/streetcar if you wish.

WEATHER
This event is weather dependent.  We will make the call on the day before.  Personally, I would rather wait for a good weather day to go rather than pushing through.  Braver souls than I are welcome to join up if the weather isn't fairly optimal.

ROUTE MODIFICATION POSSIBILITIES
If EVERYONE is in agreement, I will entertain the possibility of taking a longer route up through Sunnybrook Park and the Ontario Science Centre, and/or through Tommy Thompson Park.  One caveat:  I've only been through Sunnybrook Park once and kind of got lost, although I did find my way eventually...

MEETING POINT
Just outside the main door of Eglinton West Subway Station.

I'm interested but I won't know if I can make it until closer to the date. Would we be meeting at Yonge/Eglinton? How long will we be spending the trails?

@Val - we would be meeting at Eglinton West Station (if you get to Y/E then you can throw your bike on the bus bike rack and get to Eglinton West fairly quickly).  I'd say we'd spend 2 or 3 hours biking.  There are decent drop-off points to TTC if you can't stay the whole time / get tired.

Great Min Min - I'd pretty much do this event with two people, just so its not the record for "Event Most Often Cancelled"

No problem.... that was fun!  I think maybe we did 15-20km?  It was fairly leisurely.  You could trace it out on Google maps if you wanted to.
