Sunday Urban Roller - The Big Loop

  • 24 Jul 2016
  • 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Etienne Brule Park
The BIG Loop

Transit note: If you are planning on taking the subway to the start, please note that Line 2 (Bloor Danforth) will be closed on Sunday between Main and Broadview stations, and will open late (10 am) between Broadview and St George. Also, the "Big on Bloor" street festival will close Bloor between Dufferin and Lansdowne after 9 am, so it may be a bit slow getting a bike through that section. Plan accordingly.

NOTE: Due to a record number of path closures and diversions there are a few changes to the route for this year (2016). While the cue sheet is unchanged (and still mostly correct) the Ride with GPS map has been updated to show the route that we will be actually taking. It is still worthwhile to print a copy of the cue sheet and bring it along just in case.

We'll go up the Humber Trail, across the top of the city and down the Don River paths to return along the Lakeshore. Lunch at Tim Hortons. A longer ride than usual to help get you in shape for Cyclon. 


Just a note: this ride typically finishes at 5 pm so plan accordingly. This ride is considered to be Advanced Urban Roller level, and is not recommended as a first ride of the season or if you haven't been on the bike much this year. Not recommended for Leisure Wheelers.


Meet in the parking lot of Etienne Brule Park for a 10:00 a.m. departure. Etienne Brule Park is located at the junction of Old Mill Road and Old Mill Drive (around the corner and down the hill from the Old Mill subway station).


Please print a copy of the cue sheet (both pages!) provided from the link listed below. Please note that the Ride with GPS cue sheet directions have not been edited and may not be accurate, but the linked cue sheet has been checked and was created specifically for Urban Rollers.


Non-members are welcome to join the ride with a payment of five dollars and signing of the waiver form. All participants are required to wear a helmet.
