Sunday Urban Roller - Unionville
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 evening. Attendance will be checked at the start. If you register after 8 am on the day of the ride bring a copy of the confirmation email, either printed or electronic, to show to the ride leader.
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.
TTC note: If you are planning on taking the subway to the start point please be advised that there will be no subway service on Line 2 (Danforth) between Broadview and Woodbine station this weekend. Additionally, the section between St. George station and Broadview won't open until after noon. Shuttle buses will be running and some will have bike racks. Allow extra time to get to the start of the ride.
For this favourite TBN ride we will be heading up to the Unionville area to try the upper Rouge River trail, then return on a long, almost uninterrupted, run down Pharmacy Avenue. Given the 62 km length and longer stretches, not recommended for a first ride of the season. Parts of the Rouge trail are hard packed limestone screenings rather than pavement but should be managable for most bikes. This section is about 8 kms in length.
Lunch is at Tim Hortons near the halfway point . You may still wish to bring your own lunch and snacks to avoid lineups and contact.
Meet for a 10 am departure from the parking lot of the Victoria Park TTC station, located on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue, one block north of Danforth Avenue.
If the ride is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, notice of the cancellation will be posted on the website around 8 am Sunday. Please check before leaving for the ride.
The Ride with GPS map for the route is linked below, as well as a simplified cue sheet. The linked cue sheet has been optimised for Sunday Urban Rollers.
See you Sunday
