Cherry Blossoms Note: It is possible that the cherry blossoms (sakura) will still be in bloom this weekend. As a result the park may be busier than usual and it will be difficult to park anywhere near if you are planning on driving to the start. Expect to park further away and leave extra time to get to the Grenadier Cafe,
TTC Note: Due to a fire affecting signalling equipment the Line 2 Bloor subway may be closed between Kipling and Jane stations while repairs are underway (as of Friday noon). Shuttle buses will run instead. Allow extra time to get to the start.
A tour of Etobicoke along mostly quiet streets and paths with a nice return along the Lakeshore Trail.
We have a lunch stop at the nicer larger Tim Hortons north of Sherway Gardens, but you might want to bring a snack of your own.
Meet for a 10 am departure from the Grenadier Cafe in the centre of High Park. The park is closed to cars on the weekend so if you are arriving by car you may need to park on the street nearby. Remember to allow extra time to get to the start point.
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.
