Sunday Urban Roller - Trails of Mississauga
Please note: You must register to participate on the ride. Registration is free for TBN members. Non-members are welcome with the online payment of a $10 fee. If you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation by Saturday. Attendance will be checked at the start.
We are still under Covid-19 guidelines, so remember to bring and wear your mask in appropriate situations and maintain social distancing. Also, a helmet.
Waterfront Marathon Note: If you are planning on riding or driving to the start at Etienne Brule please note that the Waterfront Marathon will massively screw up downtown with street closures, including (but not limited to) Bloor (Bathurst to Avenue), Bay, Lakeshore, and others. You can find a complete list here. Please allow extra time to get to the start.
For this ride we will be heading from Etienne Brule Park down Royal York Road to the Lakeshore and the Waterfront Trail, then up north via a combination of mostly quiet streets and trails. After lunch we will use a bit of the more recent cycling infrastructure along Eglinton, then back into quiet streets, finishing up travelling alongside the Humber River on the lesser used west side road. If the timing is right we might even see salmon in the Humber as they make their way upstream to spawn.
Lunch is at a (newish to us) Tim Hortons at the 30 km point, a bit past halfway. You may still wish to bring your own lunch and snacks to avoid lineups and contact.
Meet at Etienne Brule Park for a 10 am start.
The Ride with GPS map for the route is linked below, as well as a simplified cue sheet. The RwGPS auto-generated cuesheet has not been checked, but the linked cue sheet has been optimised for Sunday Urban Rollers.
If a ride is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances a cancellation notice will be posted around 8 am on Sunday morning. Please check before leaving for the ride.
See you Sunday
